Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig "Schwarzpfennig" coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the Upper Palatinate region of Germany. The coin was issued jointly by Louis III, John of Neumarkt, and Otto I of Pfalz-Mosbach, who were all powerful nobles in the region. The coin's design features a simple, bold image of a shield with a cross on it, which was a common motif in medieval coinage. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is highly sought after by collectors today due to its historical significance and rarity.
