Comment
Grimm 1159Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig 1782 coin from the City of Rostock (German States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. During his reign, Prussia became a major military and economic power, and the coinage of the time reflects this growth and prosperity. The 1 Pfennig coin, made of copper and weighing 1 gram, was a common denomination used in everyday transactions, and its design featured the coat of arms of the City of Rostock, which was an important trading center in the region. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item today, with many examples still in circulation among numismatists.
