Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The country was experiencing rapid industrialization and urbanization, which led to a high demand for small denomination coins like the 3 Pfennigs. As a result, the Cathedral chapter of Münster, which was responsible for minting coins for the region, produced a large quantity of these coins to meet the demand. Despite their widespread use, the 3 Pfennigs coin is now a rare and highly sought-after collector's item, making it a valuable piece of numismatic history.
