Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Principality of Lippe is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the Lippe family crest, which was added to the coin's obverse (front side) in 1834. This crest, known as the "Lippe Rose," has been a symbol of the Lippe family and their rule over the region for centuries. It adds an interesting historical and cultural element to the coin, making it a valuable collector's item for those interested in German numismatics.
