Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Nuremberg was made of copper, which was a common material for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it features a unique design element - a small crescent moon and star symbol located above the shield on the obverse side of the coin. This symbol was added to the coin to indicate that it was minted during the Islamic month of Muharram, which was considered a time of renewal and new beginnings. This fact highlights the cultural and religious diversity of the region and the influence of Islamic traditions on the coinage of the time.
