Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Pfennigs - Clemens August 1743-1745 coin from the Bishopric of Münster (German States) made of Copper is that it features a unique design element. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Münster, while the reverse side features a cross fleury, which is a type of cross with fleur-de-lis at the ends. This design was used to symbolize the connection between the Bishopric of Münster and the Holy Roman Empire.
