Interesting fact
The 4 Pfennigs coin from Wiedenbrück is notable for its unique design, which features a depiction of the city's coat of arms on one side and the number "4" on the other. The coat of arms includes a pair of crossed keys, which symbolize the city's connection to the Catholic Church. The use of copper in the coin's minting process was also a common practice during this time period, as it was a relatively inexpensive and durable material. Despite its humble composition, the 4 Pfennigs coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
