Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin featuring Engelbert I of Isenberg is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Bishopric of Osnabrück. Engelbert I was a powerful bishop who ruled the diocese from 1224 until his death in 1226, and his reign was marked by a series of conflicts with the local nobility and the neighboring regions. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Engelbert I and the rich history of the Bishopric of Osnabrück.
