Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg (German States) made of Billon and weighing 0.25g is interesting because 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 economic reforms. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency system in the German States, and it represents an important step towards the eventual unification of Germany in the late 19th century.
