Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Billon is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted in 1703, during the reign of Anthony III, and it was a time when many European countries were transitioning from using silver-based currencies to copper-based currencies. The use of Billon, a copper-silver alloy, in the production of this coin reflects this shift in monetary policy. Additionally, the coin's design, which features an image of Anthony III, highlights the importance of the ruling family in the County of Montfort-Peggau during this time period.
