Interesting fact
The 1½ Pfenning coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1792, just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the European monetary system. The coin's mintage was also a response to the growing need for small denomination coins for everyday transactions, as the economy became more complex and trade increased.
