Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg (German States) made of Billon and weighing 0.3g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the late 18th century, a period of Enlightenment and Revolution, when many European nations were undergoing significant political and social upheaval. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency system in the region, as trade and commerce were becoming increasingly important. Despite its small denomination, the coin represents a significant moment in the history of European currency and is a fascinating artifact for collectors and historians alike.
