One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of Louis the Pious, who was the Duke of Württemberg from 1568 to 1593. He was known for his strong support of the Protestant Reformation and his efforts to modernize the duchy's government and economy. The coin's design, which includes a portrait of Louis the Pious on one side and the Württemberg coat of arms on the other, reflects the importance of the duke and his legacy in the region's history.
