Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Magraviate of Baden 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 Bernard I, who was the Margrave of Baden from 1409 to 1431. The use of silver in the coin's minting process was a deliberate choice, as it was a symbol of wealth and prosperity, and it was also more resistant to wear and tear than other metals. This coin's silver content made it a valuable and sought-after currency during its time in circulation.
