Comment
Minted in NeuhausInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1½ Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "W" in the center, which represents the coat of arms of the Bishop of Paderborn, Hermann Werner von Wolff-Metternich. This shield is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, adding to the coin's intricate and ornate design.
