Interesting fact

The 5 Pfennigs coin from the City of Osnabrück (German States) made of Copper weighing 2.2 g is interesting because it was issued during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and it features the coat of arms of the city on one side and the image of a lion on the other, which was a common motif in German coinage during that period.
