Comment
This 1758 coin is lumped with the 1740 1 Pfennig in KM, Schön DM, and Craig, but the style of the arms is different.Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig 1758 coin from the City of Münster (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted in the year 1758, which was just a few years before the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806. This time period saw significant political and economic upheaval, including the Seven Years' War and the Enlightenment, which had a profound impact on the way people thought about governance and society. Despite these changes, the 1 Pfennig coin remained a standard circulation coin, indicating the continuity of trade and commerce during this time.
