Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it features a unique design, with a crowned shield bearing the coat of arms of the Archbishopric on one side, and the Roman numeral "I" on the other side, indicating its denomination. This design was used during the reign of Hermann V, who was the Archbishop of Cologne from 1520 to 1532. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.30 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
