Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Pfenning coin from the City of Rostock (German States) made of Copper weighing 2.86g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the period of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 German states that existed from 1815 to 1866. This time saw the rise of nationalism and liberalism, as well as the growth of industry and trade, all of which had a significant impact on the development of coinage and currency. The 3 Pfenning coin, which was used for everyday transactions, reflects the economic and political changes that were taking place during this time.
