Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Electorate of Hesse is that it features a rare double portrait of both King William II and his father, Frederick William III, who ruled Hesse-Cassel and Hesse-Hanau respectively. This unique design was only used on coins minted in 1832, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
