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 issuance reflects the growing economic and political influence of the region during this time. Despite the turmoil of the era, the coin's design has endured, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
