Comment
1 Pfennig = 1/12 SchillingInteresting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn, minted in 1766 during the reign of William Anthony of Asseburg, features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. Instead of the correct Latin phrase "WILHELMUS ANTONIUS," the coin reads "WILHELMUS ANTONY" - a rare mistake that has become a prized feature among collectors.
