Interesting fact
The 1½ Pfennig coin was a unique denomination that was only issued by the City of Wiedenbrück in the German States during the early 18th century. It was equivalent to half of a standard Pfennig, which was the most common denomination in circulation at the time. The coin was made of copper, which was a relatively inexpensive metal, and it featured an image of the city's coat of arms on one side and the number "1 1/2" on the other. Despite its relatively low value, the coin was an important part of everyday commerce in the region and is now a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
