Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Upper Palatinate (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Wise, who was a powerful and influential leader in the Holy Roman Empire during the 16th century. He was known for his military campaigns, his patronage of the arts, and his efforts to reform the Empire's government and administration. The coin's design, which features an image of Frederick II on one side and the Upper Palatinate coat of arms on the other, reflects the importance of this ruler and the region's pride in their heritage.
