Comment
(Menzel: BBB)Interesting fact
The 25 Pfennigs coin from Freising-München, designed by Anton Schlüter, features a unique and intricate design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a stylized image of a hop plant, which is a nod to the city's long history of hop cultivation and brewing. In fact, Freising has been a center for hop production since the 12th century, and its hops are still highly prized today for their distinctive flavor and aroma. This design element not only adds visual interest to the coin but also serves as a symbol of the city's rich cultural heritage.
