Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Wilbrand of Oldenburg ND (1225-1227) coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political significance in the region. The Bishopric of Paderborn, where the coin was minted, was a powerful ecclesiastical state in the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin's minting was likely overseen by the Bishop of Paderborn himself. The coin's design, which features an image of Wilbrand of Oldenburg, a prominent bishop and statesman of the time, serves as a testament to the close relationship between the church and the state in the region during this period.
