Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield) coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1890, just a few years after the unification of Germany under the rule of Wilhelm II, and it remained in circulation until 1916, when Germany was in the midst of World War I. During this time, Germany experienced rapid industrialization and economic growth, which led to an increase in trade and commerce, and the need for a reliable currency. The 1 Pfennig coin, made of copper and weighing 2 grams, was an important part of everyday transactions and played a significant role in the economy of the time.
