Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Duchy of Bavaria-Landshut is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design during Henry XVI's reign. This cross was known as the "Landshut cross" and was used as a symbol of the duchy. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and makes it a distinctive and interesting piece for collectors.
