Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Free City of Regensburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.3g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I (1745-1765), who was instrumental in the development of the Austrian Empire and the growth of trade and commerce across Europe. The coin's silver content and minimal weight made it an ideal currency for everyday transactions, and its design featured the coat of arms of Regensburg, symbolizing the city's independence and sovereignty. Despite its small denomination, the coin played an important role in facilitating economic activity and fostering financial growth in the region during this period.
