Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Weiss-Pfennig coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia from 1558 to 1564. The coin's design features the emperor's name and title, "D.G.EL.RO.IMP," which stands for "Dei Gratia Electionis Romanorum Imperator" or "By the Grace of God, Elected Roman Emperor." This indicates that the coin was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Europe, as the Holy Roman Empire was facing challenges from the Protestant Reformation and the rise of nation-states.
