Ref CNA A61Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg is that it features an image of Frederick IV of Emmerberg, who was the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg from 1441 to 1452. This coin was minted during his reign and features his portrait on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Salzburg. This coin is a rare example of a billon coin, which is made from a mixture of copper and silver, and weighs only 0.37 grams, making it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
