Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Landgraviate of Hessen, minted during the reign of Henry II (1328-1376), is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with narrow arms and a rounded head) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of the coins minted during Henry's reign. This design element was used to distinguish the coins from other similar coins minted in other German states during the same period.
