German States. Prussia. 1821 ca.. Three Pfenninge. Crowned Arms. Eagle. Value. Obv: Crowned Arms of Prussia: Crowned Imperial Eagle, left, wings displayed outspread, holding Imperial Sceptre and Orb (Reichsapfel). “FWR” monogram on breast, referring to King Friedrich Wilhelm III (1797-1840). Lettering: 120 EINEN THALER (“One hundred and twenty [identical coins] to One Thaler”) Rev: Three-line inscription with date, mintmark in exergue. Lettering: SCHEIDE MÜNZE 3 PFENNINGE 1821 A (“Fractional Money. Three Pfennig”) (Mintmark A) (Mintmark “A” Berlin Mint). (Reverse illegible). In the early 1820s, Prussia was under the rule of King Frederick (Friedrich) William III (1770-1840), King of Prussia from 1797 to 1840, during the difficult times of the Napoleonic Wars and the end of the Holy Roman Empire. This was a period of post-Napoleonic reconstruction and monetary reform. The Three Pfenninge coin (also known as a Drei Pfenninge) is a distinctive copper piece from this era, notably larger and heavier than the single pfennig.These coins were "workhorse" currency. Because they were pure copper and handled daily by merchants and citizens, they are frequently found heavily worn, dark brown, or with "pitting" (small craters from corrosion). This coin is well worn. Dimensions: Copper 4.5 g 23 mm Pickup category timeslot {A}
