Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Halle an der Saale is that it was made of zinc, which was a common material used for coin production during that time period. Zinc was chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were intended to be used frequently and handled by many people. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin still features a detailed design and was produced with a high level of craftsmanship, reflecting the importance of quality and attention to detail in the production of currency during that time.
