Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Principality of Reuss Younger Line is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "H.L." (for Henry LXII) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination and time period, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
