Comment
Minted in NeuhausInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Mariengroschen coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" in the center, which represents the name of the bishop who issued the coin, Francis Arnold of Metternich. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
