Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Schneidemühl (Posen) issued in 1920 is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a unique design that reflected the city's cultural heritage. The coin's obverse features a stylized image of a sailing ship, which represents the city's connection to the Oder River and its importance as a trading hub. The reverse of the coin features the city's coat of arms, which includes a crowned eagle and a shield with the city's initials. This design was created by the German artist and engraver, Karl Goetz, who was known for his work on various coins and banknotes during the early 20th century.
