Comment
This was struck for the province of Westphalia. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) made of Copper and weighing 3.25g is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick William II, who was known for his military conquests and administrative reforms. This coin was minted in 1788-1789 and features an image of the king on one side and the Prussian eagle on the other. It was used as a standard circulation coin during that time and is now considered a valuable collector's item.
