Interesting fact

The 1 Pfenning coin from the Abbey of Fulda, minted between 1723 and 1726, features an image of Constantine of Buttlar, who was the Prince-Abbot of Fulda at the time. The coin was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today, due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins that were minted during its production run.
