Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Flitter coin from the Bishopric of Hildesheim is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "Kipper" inscribed on it. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the main image of Ferdinand of Bayern. The inclusion of this shield is believed to be a nod to the coin's mint master, Johann Kipper, who was responsible for producing the coin. This small detail adds a touch of personalization to the coin and sets it apart from other coins of the time.
