Interesting fact

The 3 Pfennigs coin from County of Lippe-Detmold (Lippe, German States) made of Billon weighing 1.66 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Simon Philip, who was the Count of Lippe-Detmold from 1644 to 1669. This was a period of significant economic growth and development in the region, and the coin reflects the increasing importance of trade and commerce in the area. Additionally, the use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins.
