Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Minden, minted during the reign of Otto III vom Berge (1384-1398), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also relatively small in size, weighing only 1.04 grams, making it easy to handle and transport. Despite its small size, the coin was still considered a standard circulation coin and was widely used in the German States during the late medieval period.
