Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Electorate of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was issued during the reign of August I (1575-1586) and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. Despite being made of silver, the coin was still relatively small in size, with a diameter of around 13-14 millimeters. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, and its silver content makes it a unique piece of history.
