Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the County of Ravensberg, minted during the reign of Otto III (1249-1306), is interesting because it features a unique design that reflects the region's history and culture. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a lion, which symbolizes the County of Ravensberg's coat of arms, while the reverse side features a cross, which represents the Christian faith that was prevalent in the region during that time. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight of 1.20 grams make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
