Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Ravensburg (German States) made of Copper weighing 0.79g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was minted during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, who ruled from 1658 to 1705. During this time, the Holy Roman Empire was facing economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. Despite these challenges, the 1 Pfennig coin remained a stable and widely used denomination, and its design and mintage continued to be overseen by the City of Ravensburg.
