Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Bavaria is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian I, who was a member of the House of Wittelsbach and ruled Bavaria from 1597 to 1651. He was known for his ambition to expand Bavaria's power and influence, and his reign saw significant cultural and economic developments in the region. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs only 0.25 grams, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
