Interesting fact

The 1 Pfenning coin from the Principality of Lippe, minted between 1821 and 1825, features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a horse on the reverse side. This design was chosen to represent the region's strong agricultural tradition and the importance of horse breeding in the local economy.
