Greter, Tiengen II 8; Blaschegg II,2Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Lordship of Tiengen is that it features a unique design, with a crowned eagle on the obverse (front) side and a shield with the coat of arms of Tiengen on the reverse (back) side. This design was used during the reign of Lord Frederick IX, who ruled Tiengen from 1378 to 1413. The use of a crowned eagle on the coin symbolized the lord's authority and power, while the shield with the coat of arms represented the lord's family and lineage. The fact that the coin was made of silver also speaks to the wealth and prosperity of the Lordship of Tiengen during this time period.
