Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Cathedral chapter of Münster (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.24g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen, who was known for his efforts to modernize the economy and infrastructure of the region. The coin's design, which features the coat of arms of the Cathedral chapter of Münster on one side and the image of a lion on the other, reflects the influence of the Renaissance and Baroque styles that were popular during this time period. Despite its small denomination, the coin was an important part of everyday commerce in the region and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
