Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Austria is that it features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of a lion, while the reverse side features a cross. This design was used to symbolize the dual nature of the coin, with the lion representing the secular power of the duchy and the cross representing the spiritual authority of the Church. This coin was minted during the reign of Albrecht III, who was the Duke of Austria from 1365 to 1395.
