Comment
Mintmaster - Johann Christian EberhardtInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a mixture of copper and silver, and it was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. Despite its relatively low value, the 1 Pfennig coin was still made with a significant amount of care and attention to detail, reflecting the importance of even the smallest denomination coins in the economy of the time.
