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 coat of arms of the Ostein family, which is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was a nod to the ruling family of the time, and it adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the coin's design.
