Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Pfennigs - Clemens August 1748-1755 coin from the Bishopric of Münster (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a horse on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the Bishopric of Münster. This coin was minted during the reign of Clemens August, who was the Bishop of Münster from 1748 to 1755. The horse image was included to signify the bishop's authority and connection to the land. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the German States.
