Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Pfennig - Albrecht V von Österreich (Vienna) ND (1411-1438) from Duchy of Austria (Austrian States) made of Silver weighing 0.57 g is that it was minted during the reign of Albrecht V, who was the Duke of Austria from 1404 to 1438. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which featured the image of the duke on one side and the Austrian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a significant change from previous coins minted in the region, which were typically made of copper or other base metals. The introduction of silver coins during Albrecht's reign marked a shift towards the use of more valuable materials in coinage, which was a common practice among European monarchies during this time period.
