Comment
Maximilian I died in january 1519. The posthumous coins were minted under Ferdinand's authority as Archduke of Austria in Wiener Neustadt.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Austrian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Maximilian I and Karl V, who were both prominent figures in European history. Maximilian I was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1493 to 1519, while Karl V was the King of Spain from 1516 to 1556 and Holy Roman Emperor from 1530 to 1558. The coin's design features both rulers, with Maximilian I on the obverse and Karl V on the reverse. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, providing a glimpse into the political and economic landscape of Europe during the early 16th century.
