Comment
There are variations without a "B" below the armsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Schaumberg family, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was a symbol of the ruling family's power and influence in the region, and it sets the coin apart from other coins issued during the same period.
