Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the City of Göttingen (German States) made of Billon is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The City of Göttingen, in particular, was an important center of trade and commerce, and the issuance of this coin was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized medium of exchange. Despite the challenges of the time, the coinage of Göttingen remained consistent and reliable, and the 1 Pfennig coin remains a valuable collector's item to this day.
