Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg (German States) is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver. Specifically, the coin contains 0.250 silver, which is a relatively low percentage of silver compared to other coins of the time. Despite this, the coin still holds significant historical value and is sought after by collectors today.
