Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Duchy of Bavaria (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.59g is that it was minted during the reign of Louis II, also known as Louis the Strict, who was the Duke of Bavaria from 1253 to 1255. He was known for his strict rule and his efforts to strengthen the Bavarian economy, which led to the introduction of a new coinage system that included this silver Pfennig.
