Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg is that it features a unique double portrait of Ottheinrich and Philip, the two rulers of the duchy at the time. This double portrait design was a departure from the traditional single-ruler portraits seen on most coins of the era, and it symbolized the joint rule of the two rulers. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material that was commonly used for coins in the German States during this period.
