Comment
Reference KM# 331 is under Mainz. Reference for KM# 135 is for Erfurt. The description for KM# 135 says "Note: This is not Mainz KM-331." but this isn't supported by Gräßler.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs coin from the City of Erfurt is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.R.E." (Senatus Populusque Romanus Erfordiensis) which represents the coat of arms of the city of Erfurt and signifies the city's connection to the Roman Empire.
