Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Austrian Empire, minted between 1520 and 1522, is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. The coin bears the portrait of Karl V, the Holy Roman Emperor, and Ferdinand I, the King of the Romans, who ruled jointly during that period. This dual representation symbolizes the unity and cooperation between the two rulers and their shared commitment to maintaining the empire's power and influence.
