Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Augsburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "K" and "H" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Kipper" (a nickname for Henry V of Knörringen) and "Herr" (German for "Lord"). This shield is not found on other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
