Falck 24Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Weißpfennig coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the German States. The Archbishopric of Mainz, where the coin was minted, was a powerful and influential state in the region, and the coin's minting was likely a reflection of the growing economic and political power of the region during this time. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of silver, a valuable and sought-after metal at the time, suggests that it was a significant and valuable coin in its day.
