Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin featuring Bernhard IV of Lippe is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Bishop Bernhard IV, who was a powerful and influential leader in the region. However, his rule was marked by conflict and political instability, which ultimately led to the coin's minting. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship of the time.
