Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Abbey of Corvey (German States) made of Copper in 1704 is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Abbey was under the rule of Prince-Abbot Florenz of Welden, who was known for his efforts to modernize and secularize the Abbey's administration and economy. This coin may have been part of a larger effort to standardize currency and promote trade within the region.
