Comment
Beierlein# 173Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Bavaria, issued during the reign of Albert III (1438-1460), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also relatively small in size, weighing only 0.46 grams, making it easy to handle and transport. Despite its small size, the coin was still considered a significant denomination in its time and was widely used in trade and commerce.
