Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Duchy of Bavaria-Landshut is that it features a unique design, with an image of Louis IX, also known as Louis the Rich, on one side and the coat of arms of Bavaria-Landshut on the other. This design was used during his reign from 1450 to 1479 and was meant to symbolize the unity of the duchy and its ruler.
