Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg (German States) made of Billon and weighing 0.31g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), a conflict that devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the city of Nuremberg continued to mint coins, such as this 1 Pfennig, which were used for everyday transactions and played a vital role in the local economy.
