The 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Hildesheim, minted during the reign of Jobst Edmund of Brabeck (1691-1692), is notable for its unique design. The coin features a depiction of the Bishop of Hildesheim, Johannes von Hildesheim, on one side, and the coat of arms of the bishopric on the other. This design was unusual for the time period, as most coins from the German States featured the ruler's portrait or a generic design. The use of the bishop's image on the coin was a nod to the powerful influence of the Church in the region during that time.
