Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pfennig coin from the City of Zofingen (Aargau) made of Silver weighing 0.39g is that it was minted during the reign of Rudolf I, who was the first King of Germany from the House of Habsburg. He ruled from 1275 to 1291 and was known for his efforts to strengthen the German monarchy and his role in the development of the Holy Roman Empire. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of medieval Europe.
