Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Upper Bavaria is that it features an image of Rudolph I, who was the first king of Germany from the Habsburg dynasty. He ruled from 1294 to 1317 and was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the German monarchy. The coin's design was likely inspired by the king's reputation as a powerful and influential leader.
