Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg (German States) made of Billon and weighing 0.30g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Charles VI, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1711 to 1740. During this time, the Empire was facing challenges from rising nationalism and the decline of the traditional feudal system. The coin's minting was likely a response to the need for a stable and reliable currency to facilitate trade and commerce within the Empire. Despite its small denomination, the 1 Pfennig coin played an important role in the economy of the time and remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
