Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Landgraviate of Hessen, made of silver and weighing 0.92g, is that it features an image of Henry I, also known as Henry the Child, who was the ruler of the Landgraviate of Hessen from 1263 to 1308. Despite his long reign, Henry I was only a child when he ascended to the throne, hence his nickname. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact from his reign, providing a glimpse into the economic and political history of medieval Germany.
