Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in the German States. The Burgraviate of Nuremberg, where the coin was minted, was a small territory that was constantly struggling for survival and independence amidst the larger and more powerful neighboring states. Despite these challenges, the Burgraviate managed to maintain its independence and even issued its own coins, like this 1 Pfennig coin, which is a testament to its resilience and determination.
