Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken, minted during the reign of Wolfgang (1532-1569), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also relatively small, weighing only 0.18 grams, making it easy to handle and transport. Despite its small size, the coin was still considered a significant denomination in the German States during the 16th century.
