Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Bavaria is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. William IV and Louis X, who ruled the duchy together from 1514 to 1545, are depicted side by side on the coin, which is a rare design element for coins from that time period.
