Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn, minted during the reign of Simon I of Lippe (1247-1277), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also relatively lightweight, weighing only 1.17 grams, making it easy to handle and transport. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin suggests that it was widely used in everyday transactions, making it a common sight in the German States during that time period.
