Comment
Usuall called Weisspfennig (Bílý Peníz) as opposed to smaller denomination (heller) being called black, due to lack of silver in them and thus resulting in inability of cleaning of Hellers.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Pfennig - Ludwig (Kuttenberg) ND (1516-1526) from Kingdom of Bohemia made of Silver weighing 0.3 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Ludwig (Ludwig II) of Bohemia, who was also known as Ludwig of Kuttenberg. He was a member of the Luxembourg dynasty and ruled Bohemia from 1516 to 1526. This coin was likely used as a means of payment during his reign and would have been a common sight in the kingdom during that time.
