Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin featuring Sophia of Brabant is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued in the mid-13th century, a period marked by the rise of city-states and the decline of feudalism. The Landgraviate of Thuringia, where the coin was minted, was a small state in what is now central Germany, and the coin's design and production reflect the political and economic shifts that were taking place at the time. Despite its small size, the coin has a rich history and is a valuable artifact for collectors and historians today.
