Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick William III, who was the King of Prussia from 1797 to 1840. During his reign, Prussia underwent significant economic and political reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which replaced the old system of Thalers and Groschen with a new system based on the Pfennig. This coin, with its low denomination and wide circulation, played an important role in the everyday transactions of the time and remains a valuable piece of history for collectors today.
