Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from Reuss-Untergreiz (German States) made of Copper in 1752 during the reign of Henry III is interesting because it was one of the smallest coins minted during that time, with a diameter of only 13mm. Despite its small size, it was still used as a means of payment and had a significant value in the local economy. Additionally, the coin features an intricate design, including an image of Henry III on one side and the Reuss-Untergreiz coat of arms on the other, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the minting process during that time.
