Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Pfenning coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Blankenburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "L.R." (for Louis Rudolph) located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This subtle detail sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, making it a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
