Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Pfennig - Johann Rudolf ND (1718-1723) from Lordship of Reichenau (Grisons) made of Billon weighing 0.15 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Johann Rudolf, who was the Lord of Reichenau from 1718 to 1723. During this time, the Grisons region, where Reichenau is located, was going through a period of significant economic growth and political change. The coin's minting was likely a response to the increasing demand for currency in the region and the need for a standardized form of payment. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a fascinating piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of the time.
