Comment
Jointly with his nephew Adolph (1435 - 1438)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Duchy of Bavaria-Munich (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.53g is that it was minted during the reign of Ernest and Adolphus, who were brothers and co-rulers of the duchy from 1435 to 1438. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during their reign, as most coins from this time period were made of copper or other base metals. The fact that it was made of silver suggests that it was a high-value coin at the time, and its rarity makes it a valuable collector's item today.
