Comment
This type is distinguished by the use of the number 3 rather than the Roman numerals III (see link).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfenning coin from the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg is that it features a unique blend of metals, known as Billon, which was commonly used in coinage during that time period. Billon is an alloy of copper, silver, and other metals, and it was prized for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The use of Billon in the 3 Pfenning coin reflects the efforts of the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg to create a coin that was both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
