Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Pfennigs coin from the County of Ravensberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the county's coat of arms, which includes a raven, is placed above the numeral "6" on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield is a nod to the county's name and history, and it adds an extra layer of detail and meaning to the coin's design.
