Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from Ulm (German States) was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, a political entity that existed in Central Europe from the 10th to the 19th century. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Ulm, which includes a shield with a cross and three antlers, symbolizing the city's connection to the Church and its status as a free imperial city. The coin's mintage was likely relatively low, given the limited population and economic activity of the city during that time period. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
