Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Landgraviate of Leuchtenberg, minted during the reign of John III (Hals) between 1430 and 1459, features a unique design element - a stylized letter "H" on the reverse side, which represents the name of the ruling dynasty, the House of Hals. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and period, making it a prized collector's item for numismatists interested in German states' coins.
