Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design, with a crowned shield bearing the coat of arms of the House of Schwarzburg, which was a powerful noble family in the region. The coin's design was likely meant to symbolize the power and influence of the Schwarzburg family, who played a significant role in the political and economic affairs of the region during the late medieval period.
