3 pfennig = 1/36 groschen = 1/96 thaler

Coin minted at the Berlin mint (different A) and at Magdeburg (different F)

Variants:
The position of the different may vary; in some cases, it does not split the year, but is placed below it.
The rosettes next to the denomination also vary, sometimes being replaced by 8-pointed stars (1755).
Coins from 1755 can be overprinted on 1752 or 1753 vintages.
On the Magdeburg coin, the double dot in the legend is sometimes replaced by a single dot, and the dot at the end of the legend may be absent. Automatically translated

3 pfennig = 1/36 groschen = 1/96 thaler

Pièce frappée à l'atelier monétaire de Berlin (différent A) et à Magdeburg (différent F)

Variantes:
La position du différent peut varier, dans certains cas il ne scinde pas le millésime mais se retrouve en dessous.
Les rosettes accostant la valeur faciale varient également, parfois elles sont remplacées par des étoiles à 8 rais (millésime de 1755).
Les pièces de 1755 peuvent être surfrappées sur les millésimes de 1752 ou 1753.
Sur la pièce de Magdeburg, le double point de la légende est parfois remplacé par un simple point et le point en fin de légende peut être absent.
