One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Rupert II (Amberg) ND (1396-1398) coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the Palatinate region of Germany. The coin was issued by Rupert II, who was the Elector Palatine at the time, and it features an image of him on one side and the Palatinate coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in other coins of the time, and it reflects the growing wealth and influence of the Palatinate region. Despite its small denomination, the 1 Pfennig coin was an important part of the local economy and played a significant role in the financial transactions of everyday people.
