Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs - Fredrik I 1721-1744 coin from the City of Wismar (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick I, who was the King of Prussia from 1701 to 1740, and the Duke of Wismar from 1721 to 1744. During this time, Prussia was becoming a major military and economic power in Europe, and the city of Wismar was an important trading center in the region. The coin's design, which features an image of Frederick I on one side and the Wismar coat of arms on the other, reflects the city's connection to the Prussian monarchy and its growing influence in the region.
