Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Pfennigs coin from the Bishopric of Münster is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a wolf's head on the reverse side, which is a nod to the name of the bishop, Francis Arnold von Wolff-Metternich. This small detail adds a touch of personality to the coin and sets it apart from other coins of the time.
