Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Regensburg is that it features a unique design, with a crowned lion on the obverse (front) side and a cross on the reverse (back) side. This design was used during the reign of Bishop Friedrich II von Nuremberg, who ruled the Bishopric from 1315 to 1374. The use of a lion on the coin may have been a symbol of the bishop's power and authority, while the cross represented the religious affiliation of the region.
