Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F" and "B" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Ferdinand, Bishop of Paderborn" (Ferdinand, Bischof von Paderborn). This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate the coin's issuing authority and to differentiate it from other coins circulating in the region at the time.
