Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Öttingen (German States) is that it features a unique combination of two rulers, Wolfgang I and Joachim, who co-ruled the territory together from 1510 to 1520. This is reflected in the coin's design, which shows both rulers' names and titles on opposite sides of the coin. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a period of co-rule, making it a valuable piece for collectors of German numismatics.
