Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from Nuremberg was made of silver, which was a rare and valuable metal at the time. In fact, the coin was worth more than its face value, which was 1/120th of a gold gulden. This made it a popular coin among collectors and traders, and it was often used as a form of currency in international trade.
