Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg, made of silver and weighing 0.3g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Anthony of Rotenhan, who was a powerful bishop and prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire in the 15th century. Despite being a small denomination coin, it was made of precious silver, indicating the wealth and influence of the Bishopric of Bamberg at the time.
