Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from County of Montfort-Peggau (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during the reign of John VIII, who was the Count of Montfort-Peggau from 1669 to 1676. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during his reign, and it features an image of the Count on one side and the coat of arms of Montfort-Peggau on the other. The use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a relatively inexpensive and abundant metal. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
