Interesting fact

The 6 Pfennigs coin from the Bishopric of Paderborn (German States) made of Copper in 1761 is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The Bishopric of Paderborn was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and in 1761, it was under the rule of a new bishop, Bishop Wilhelm Anton von der Asseburg. This coin was minted during his reign, and it features the coat of arms of the bishopric on one side and the value of the coin on the other. It's a unique piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of the time.
