Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the County of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted in 1760, just a few years before the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, which marked the end of the feudal system and the beginning of a new era of modernization and nation-building in Europe. The coin's design, featuring Moritz Casimir, the Count of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda, is a reminder of the powerful local rulers who played a significant role in shaping the history of Europe during this time.
