Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig 1848 coin from the City of Rostock (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.23g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the German Confederation, a short-lived union of 39 German states that was formed in 1815 and dissolved in 1866. The coin's design, featuring a crowned shield with the letters "R" and "S" (for Rostock) on either side, symbolizes the city's independence and sovereignty during this time. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
