This coin, issued in the Kingdom of Prussia in AD 1867, served as a circulating currency with a denomination of 3 Pfennigs, approximately equivalent to ¹⁄₁₂₀ of a Thaler. This coin was issued during the reign of King William I (AD 1861-1888).
The obverse of the coin features a square shield with an outspread eagle, topped by a crown. Surrounding the shield is the inscription “120 EINEN THALER,” denoting the face value of the coin as ¹⁄₁₂₀ of a Thaler. On the reverse side, there is an indication of an equivalent but distinct denomination, reading “3 PFENNINGE” (Pfennigs), along with the year of minting, which is AD 1867 in the Gregorian calendar.
The inscription “Scheidemünzen” above signifies the type of this coin, while the letter “B” at the bottom designates the minting location as Hanover. There are three variations labeled A, B, and C, representing Berlin, Hanover, and Frankfurt am Main, respectively.
The coin displays a reeded edge on both the obverse and reverse sides, as well as along its rim.
