Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Großpfennig - Henry VII ND (1308-1313) coin from the Holy Roman Empire is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design during Henry VII's reign. This cross was known as the "Hohenstaufen cross" and was a symbol of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, which ruled the Holy Roman Empire at the time. The inclusion of this cross on the coin was a way for Henry VII to assert his authority and connection to the powerful Hohenstaufen family.
