Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Weißpfennig coin from the Duchy of Berg is that it features a unique design element - a small cross symbol located above the crown on the obverse side of the coin. This cross is believed to have been added to the design to signify the coin's purity and authenticity, as it was a common practice in medieval Europe to include such symbols on coins made of precious metals like silver.
