Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Bavaria is that it features an image of Albert V, the ruler of Bavaria at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of Bavaria on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum and the Holy Roman Empire was beginning to dissolve. The coin's silver content and detailed design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
