1½ Pfenning

Münster's 1½ Pfennig denomination is an oddity even by the fragmented standards of mid-18th century German coinage — fractional values of this kind emerged from the practical chaos of multiple competing local tariff systems, where a straightforward Pfennig simply failed to map cleanly onto prevailing price structures. The city's monetary authority issued across nearly two decades, long enough to produce the two distinct varieties Weingärtner catalogued separately as #227 and #228.
