Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Landgraviate of Leuchtenberg is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. The coin bears the effigies of John II and Sigost, who were co-rulers of the territory during the period 1381-1398. This dual leadership is reflected in the coin's design, with John II depicted on the left side and Sigost on the right. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time, which typically featured a single ruler or a symbol of the territory.
