Comments

Minted for West Prussia, East Prussia and Danzig (different A - Berlin workshop) as well as for Silesia (different G - Glatz workshop). These coins were legal tender in Poland and South Prussia. Qualified as 3 Gröschel or Düttchen in East Prussia. In Silesia, these coins were considered 3 Kreuzer (Böhm) and not 3 Groschen. Because of the flying eagle on the reverse, these coins were given the popular name "Fledermaus" (bat).
