Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Otto I. of Pfalz-Mosbach ND (1458-1460) coin is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of copper and silver. This was a common practice in the German States during the 15th century, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable to produce and circulate. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce during its time.
