Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Weisspfennig - Adolph IX ND (1423-1437) from Duchy of Berg (Berg, German States) made of Silver weighing 1.9 g is that it was minted during the reign of Adolph IX, who was the Duke of Berg from 1423 to 1437. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during the Renaissance period in Europe, and its design features the image of Adolph IX on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Berg on the other. The coin's silver content and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the economic and political history of Europe during the 15th century.
