Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from County of Reuss-Lobenstein is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "H" and "L" on either side of the coat of arms, which represents the House of Reuss-Lobenstein. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, making it a prized collector's item for numismatists.
