Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Weißpfennig coin featuring Frederick III of Saarwerden is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick III, who was the Archbishop of Cologne from 1385 to 1414. During his reign, the Archbishopric of Cologne was facing challenges from the rising powers of the neighboring territories, and the coinage was an important symbol of the Archbishopric's power and influence. The use of silver in the coin's minting also signifies the value and wealth of the region at that time.
