Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Regensburg, which was minted during the reign of Siegfried (1227-1246), features an image of the bishop's mitre on one side and a cross on the other. This design was common for coins minted during this period in the German States, as it symbolized the power and authority of the church.
