Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Landgraviate of Leuchtenberg, minted during the reign of John IV (1520-1531), features a unique design element - a stylized depiction of a lion on the obverse side. This lion symbol was a nod to the Landgraviate's coat of arms, which featured a lion as the central charge. The use of the lion on the coin was a way to reinforce the connection between the coinage and the ruling family, and it added an element of prestige and authority to the currency.
