Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Osnabrück is that it features a unique design, with a crowned shield bearing the coat of arms of the bishopric on one side, and the inscription "CONRADVS IV D G EPISCOPUS OSNABRVCK" (Conrad IV, Bishop of Osnabrück) on the other. This design was used for coins minted during the reign of Conrad IV of Rietberg, who was the bishop of Osnabrück from 1482 to 1508. The use of a crowned shield and the bishop's name and title on the coin emphasizes the authority and power of the bishopric, and highlights the importance of religion and the church during this time period.
