Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Großpfennig coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of the coins minted during the reign of Henry II of Virneburg. This cross was not present on all coins minted during this time, making it a notable variation among the coins of this era.
