Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs - Francis Arnold of Metternich 1718 coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" (for Francis) above the coat of arms on the reverse side. This subtle detail sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and era, making it a prized collector's item for numismatists.
