Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Austria (Austrian States) is that it was minted during a time of great political instability in the region. The Interregnum period, which lasted from 1246 to 1251, was a time of transition between the Hohenstaufen and Habsburg dynasties, and saw a number of different rulers and claimants to the throne. Despite this turmoil, the coinage of the time remained consistent, with the 1 Pfennig coin being a standard denomination throughout the period. This coin is a testament to the resilience and continuity of the Austrian States during a time of great upheaval.
