Comment
Minted in Bielefeld.Interesting fact
The 12 Pfennigs coin from the County of Ravensberg (German States) made of Copper and weighing 4.406g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of George William (1620-1621), who was the last Catholic bishop of the diocese of Paderborn and the first Protestant administrator of the diocese. This coin, therefore, represents a significant moment in the history of religion and politics in the region.
