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 design was used to signify the coin's issuance by the Bishopric and to distinguish it from other coins issued by neighboring regions.
