Comment
KM# is attributed to German states.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs - Ferdinand II (Neisse) 1625 coin from the Royal Mint of Silesia made of Billon is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and the coinage of many countries, including Silesia, was in disarray. The Royal Mint of Silesia was established in 1555, and it was responsible for producing coins for the region, which was then part of the Holy Roman Empire. The 3 Pfennigs coin was a standard circulation coin during this time and was made of Billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, usually copper, silver, and sometimes gold. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, and its historical significance makes it an interesting piece of numismatic history.
