Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from Beckum is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its age and historical significance. It was minted during a time when the Holy Roman Empire was still in existence, and the City of Beckum was an important trading center in the region. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the City of Beckum on one side and the image of a lion on the other, symbolizing the power and strength of the city. Despite being made of copper, the coin has survived for centuries and remains a sought-after collector's item for numismatists around the world.
