Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs coin from County of Mansfeld-Hinterort is that it features a unique combination of religious and secular symbols. On one side, the coin bears the image of St. David and St. Frederick, two Christian saints, while on the other side, it features the coat of arms of the County of Mansfeld-Hinterort, which includes a crescent moon and a star, symbols commonly associated with Islam. This blending of religious symbols reflects the diverse cultural and religious influences present in the German States during the early 17th century.
