Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Margraviate of Brandenburg is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick VI, who was also known as Frederick the Fat. He was the Margrave of Brandenburg from 1414 until his death in 1440 and was known for his lavish spending and love of food, which earned him his nickname. Despite his reputation, Frederick VI was also a skilled military leader and politician who helped to strengthen the Margraviate of Brandenburg during his rule.
