Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Duchy of Bavaria (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.94g is that it was minted during the reign of Louis I, also known as Louis the Kelheimer, who was the Duke of Bavaria from 1183 to 1200. He was known for his military campaigns and his support of the Catholic Church, and his reign saw the expansion of trade and commerce in Bavaria. The coin itself is a rare and valuable artifact from this time period, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
