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 a depiction of Ferdinand I on one side and the Bohemian coat of arms on the other. This coin was used as a means of currency during a time of great cultural and political change in Europe, and its silver content made it a valuable and sought-after form of currency.
