Interesting fact
The 4 Pfennigs coin from the Bishopric of Hildesheim, minted during the reign of Jobst Edmund of Brabeck (1691-1692), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a coat of arms or other symbol of the issuing authority, this coin bears an image of a tree, believed to be a representation of the "Tree of Life" from Christian mythology. This unique design element makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time and adds to its numismatic interest.
