Comment
Style copied from the Pfennig coins of Münster.Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the County of Ravensberg, minted during the reign of Otto III (1249-1306), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also relatively lightweight, weighing only 1.41 grams, making it easy to handle and transport. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin suggests that it was widely used in everyday transactions, making it a common sight in the German States during that time period.
