Interesting fact

This coin features an image of the Bishop of Paderborn, Dietrich von Fürstenberg, on one side, and the coat of arms of the bishopric on the other. The coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the complex power dynamics at play in the region during the early 17th century. Despite being a relatively small denomination, the 3 Pfennigs coin was an important part of the local economy and played a significant role in the financial transactions of everyday people in the bishopric.
