Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Pfennig - Frederick I ND (1459-1476) from Electors of the Palatinate (Palatinate, German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Frederick I, also known as Frederick the Victorious, who was the Elector Palatine from 1459 to 1476. During his reign, the Palatinate was involved in several conflicts, including the Wars of the Roses in England and the Burgundian Wars in the Low Countries. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the Palatinate remained consistent and of high quality, with the 1 Pfennig coin being a prime example. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also significant, as it was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time.
