Comment
Meyer 132bInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs ND (1680) coin from the City of Dortmund is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, who ruled from 1658 to 1705. During this period, the German states were experiencing significant economic growth and urbanization, which led to an increased demand for coinage. As a result, many cities, including Dortmund, began minting their own coins to meet this demand. The 3 Pfennigs coin was one of the most widely used denominations of its time and remained in circulation for many years, making it a valuable piece of numismatic history.
