Comment
Previously listed as KM#420Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) made of Copper and weighing 1.2g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The coin was minted during the reign of Louis I (1839-1848) and Maximillian II (1848-1856), a time when Germany was undergoing rapid industrialization and political change. The coin's design, featuring the portrait of the king on one side and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other, reflects the country's shift towards a more modern and centralized state. Additionally, 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 resource. Overall, this coin serves as a small but interesting reminder of a significant period in German history.
