Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Free City of Augsburg, minted between 1548 and 1562, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also issued during a period of significant economic and political change in Europe, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolving and the German States were becoming more independent. The coin's design likely reflected the city's coat of arms or other local symbols, and its value would have been used for everyday transactions in the region.
