Variants exist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Bishopric of Hildesheim is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric, which is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This shield and wreath design was a common feature on coins issued by the Bishopric during this time period, and it serves as a symbol of the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
