Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of John Frederick I, who was a member of the House of Württemberg and ruled the duchy from 1608 to 1628. During his reign, Württemberg experienced significant economic growth and cultural development, and the coinage of the time reflects this. The 1 Pfennig coin, made of silver and weighing 0.4 grams, was likely used in everyday transactions and would have been an important part of the local economy.
