Interesting fact
The Pfennig coin from Duchy of Bavaria-Munich (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.52 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of John II, who was the Duke of Bavaria-Munich from 1397 to 1406. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during the late medieval period in Europe, and its preservation in such good condition is a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. Additionally, the coin's design features the image of a lion, which was a symbol of strength and power in medieval heraldry.
