Interesting fact
The 3 Pfennigs coin featuring Frederick William IV of Prussia was minted during a time of great change in the German states. The coin was minted in 1843, just a year before the Prussian government abolished the feudal system and introduced a new constitution that established a constitutional monarchy. This was a significant turning point in German history, marking the beginning of a more modern and democratic era.
