Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Schwäbisch Hall is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, who ruled from 1658 to 1705. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was facing significant challenges, including the effects of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the City of Schwäbisch Hall was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the 1 Pfennig coin, which was an important symbol of the city's economic and political autonomy.
