Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Archbishopric of Magdeburg, minted during the reign of Christian William of Brandenburg in 1623-1624, was made of silver, which was a unusual material for a coin of such low denomination at that time. This suggests that the coin may have had a higher value or significance than its face value, possibly being used as a token of allegiance or loyalty to the Archbishopric or the Brandenburg dynasty.
