Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Minden is that it features a unique design, with a crowned shield bearing the coat of arms of the Bishopric on one side, and the inscription "HENRICVS III D G DVX MINDI" (Henry III, Duke of Minden, by the grace of God) on the other. This design was used during the reign of Henry III of Schauenburg, who ruled the Bishopric from 1506 to 1507. The coin's small size and silver content also make it a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
