Interesting fact
The 1 Dreier coin from the Bishopric of Hildesheim, which was issued during the reign of Ernest of Bayern (1601-1606), features a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins of the time. The coin's obverse (front) side features a depiction of the bishop's mitre, which was a symbol of the bishop's authority and power. This design element was not commonly found on coins of the time, and it highlights the importance of the bishopric in the region's history and culture.
