Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Pfennigs - Frederick Francis II (Silver pattern strike) 1854 from City of Wismar (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.32 g is that it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The coin was minted in 1854, just a few years before the unification of Germany under Prussian leadership in 1871. This coin is a unique piece of history that represents a time when the German states were still independent and had their own currencies before they were unified under a single government.
