Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig - Blankenstein ND coin was issued by the Municipality of Blankenstein in the Federal State of Reuss, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's obverse (front side) features a portrait of a young woman, believed to be Princess Adelheid Reuss, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. The reverse (back side) features a blank field, which was a deliberate design choice to make the coin easily distinguishable from other coins in circulation. This design element, combined with the coin's relatively small size and zinc composition, makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
