Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it features an image of Engelbert of Berg, who was a prominent religious figure in the 13th century. He was the Archbishop of Cologne from 1216 until his death in 1225, and was known for his role in promoting the Catholic Church and his involvement in various political and military conflicts of the time. The coin's design, which includes Engelbert's image, was likely meant to promote his legacy and reinforce the authority of the Archbishopric of Cologne.
