Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfenning coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) made of Copper is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was minted in 1804-1805, during the reign of Ferdinand III, who was the last ruler of the Habsburg dynasty. This was a period of significant upheaval, as Napoleon's armies were conquering much of Europe, and the Austrian Empire was struggling to maintain its power and influence. Despite these challenges, the Bishopric of Salzburg continued to mint its own coins, including the 1 Pfenning coin, which was an important part of everyday commerce in the region.
