Interesting fact
The 4 Pfennigs - Maximilian I ND (1621-1622) coin from the Duchy of Bavaria (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Maximilian I, who was the first Duke of Bavaria and a powerful leader in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design features an image of Maximilian I on one side and the coat of arms of Bavaria on the other, symbolizing the duchy's independence and sovereignty. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a significant choice, as it was a widely available and affordable metal that made the coin accessible to a broad range of people, contributing to the coin's circulation and use in everyday transactions.
