Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Augsburg is that it features a unique design, with a crowned shield bearing the coat of arms of the bishopric on one side, and a cross fleury on the other. This design was used for coins minted during the reign of Burkhard of Ellerbach, who was the bishop of Augsburg from 1373 to 1404. The use of a unique design for coins minted during a specific reign is a common practice in numismatics, and it helps to distinguish these coins from others minted during different periods.
