Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg is that it features an image of Arnold of Solms, who was the Bishop of Bamberg from 1286 to 1296. The coin was minted during his tenure, and it is believed that the image of Arnold was included on the coin as a way to promote his authority and influence in the region. This coin is a rare example of a coin from the medieval period that features a real person, rather than a mythical or symbolic figure.
