Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig (Klippe) coin from the Free City of Augsburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1624, just a few years after the Thirty Years' War had begun, which had a profound impact on the German States and the rest of Europe. Despite the challenges of this time period, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its silver content and detailed design. This coin is a testament to the resilience and skill of the mint workers and the people of Augsburg during a difficult period in history.
