Interesting fact
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. Despite being a relatively small coin, it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver, and contains .313 silver. This makes it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in German history and coinage.
