Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Free City of Kempten is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It is believed that the coin was minted in the early 16th century, during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1493 to 1519. The coin features the image of a lion on one side and the coat of arms of the Free City of Kempten on the other. The fact that it is made of silver makes it even more valuable, as silver coins were not as common as copper or other metals during that time period.
