Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Landgraviate of Hessen, made of silver and weighing 0.79g, is that it was minted during the reign of Henry I, who was also known as Henry the Child. He was only 10 years old when he succeeded his father as the ruler of Hessen, and his reign lasted from 1263 to 1308. Despite his young age, Henry I was able to maintain peace and stability in his territory, and his coinage reflects the economic prosperity of the region during that time.
