Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Reichsgroschen coin from the Bishopric of Minden is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier coins issued by the Bishopric, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
