Interesting fact
The Pfennig coin from Duchy of Bavaria-Munich (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.59 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of John II, who was the Duke of Bavaria-Munich from 1375 to 1397. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin from that time period and region, as most coins minted during this time were made of copper or other base metals. The fact that it was made of silver suggests that it was a high-value coin and may have been used for large transactions or as a store of value. Additionally, the coin's design may provide insight into the artistic and cultural influences of the time.
