Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg is that it features a unique design, with a crowned bust of Henry I of Schmiedefeld on one side and a cross with a crescent moon on the other. This design was used during Henry's reign from 1242 to 1258 and is a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
