Comment

Leuchtenberg and Pfeimd are two main cities of the Landgraviate of Leuchtenberg.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Landgraviate of Leuchtenberg is that it features a unique design element - a small cross symbol located above the shield on the obverse side of the coin. This cross is believed to have been added to the coin's design to signify the coin's purity and authenticity, as it was a common practice during that time period to add small symbols or marks to coins to indicate their purity and value.
