Interesting fact

The 1 Scherf coin from the City of Erfurt (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.2g is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Boniface, on one side, and the coat of arms of Erfurt on the other.
