Interesting fact
The 1 Pfenning coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg, minted between 1715 and 1722, features an unusual design element - a small image of a horse on the reverse side. This horse symbol was added to the coin's design to indicate that the coin was minted using copper from the local Stolberg mines. This subtle detail provides a unique insight into the coin's production and the importance of the local mining industry at the time.
