Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs (Domkapitel) 1618 coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a bishop's mitre, which is visible above the shield on the coin's obverse side. This design element was added to signify the coin's issuance by the Bishopric of Paderborn, which was a powerful ecclesiastical state in the Holy Roman Empire at the time. The inclusion of the mitre image was a way to show the coin's connection to the church and to emphasize the authority of the bishop who issued it.
