Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzer coin from the Abbey of Corvey (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "HV" (for Henry V of Aschenbrock) placed above the coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin. This subtle detail adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, as it highlights the influence of the Aschenbrock family on the minting process and the importance of their involvement in the region's economy during that time.
