Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pfennigs coin from the Bishopric of Münster is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Saxon duchy of Lauenburg, which was ruled by Eric of Sachsen-Lauenburg during his reign from 1508 to 1522. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
