Interesting fact
The Maximilian of Horrich 1715 1 Pfennig coin from the Abbey of Corvey (German States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714). Despite the conflict, the coin's design remained relatively unchanged from previous issues, featuring an image of Maximilian of Horrich, the abbot of Corvey, on one side and the coat of arms of the abbey on the other. This consistency in design suggests that the production of coins continued uninterrupted during this period, which is a testament to the resilience of the abbey and its people.
