Comment
Cf. #7 in Friedrich Wielandt, Robert Greter-Stückelberger - "Die Münzen von Laufenburg und Rheinau", 1978Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Vierzipfliger" Pfennig coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's issuance coincided with the rise of the Habsburg dynasty, which would go on to play a significant role in European history for centuries to come. Despite being a small silver coin, the "Vierzipfliger" Pfennig represents a significant moment in the history of currency and the growth of the Habsburg Empire.
