Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin with an eagle from the City of Goslar is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I, who was known for his efforts to standardize coinage across the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is an example of the standardized currency that was introduced during his reign, and it features the imperial eagle on one side and the city's coat of arms on the other.
