Comment
Further information about Münster Cathedral or St.-Paulus-Dom is included into the description of 3 Pfenning, see the link below.Interesting fact
The 1 Pfenning coin from the Cathedral chapter of Münster (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.0 g is interesting because it is one of the smallest coins ever produced, with a diameter of only 13mm. Despite its small size, it was still used as a means of payment in the German States during the 18th century.
