Interesting fact
The 1 Pfenning coin from the Free City of Augsburg, minted in 1758, is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.A." (for "Stadt Augsburg" or "City of Augsburg") located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted specifically for use within the Free City of Augsburg, which was a self-governing city-state within the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is a rare example of a local currency from that time period and is highly sought after by collectors today.
