Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the County of Bentheim, minted during the reign of Balduin ND (1209-1247), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also relatively lightweight, weighing only 1.06 grams, making it easy to handle and transport. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin suggests that it was widely used in everyday transactions, making it a common sight in the German States during that time period.
