Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Regensburg, minted during the reign of Albert I (1247-1260), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also relatively lightweight, weighing only 0.80 grams, making it easy to handle and transport. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin suggests that it was widely used in everyday transactions, making it a common sight in the German States during that time period.
