Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Bishopric of Osnabrück was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and it was constantly struggling for survival and independence. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the region remained consistent and of high quality, with the Denier coin being a prime example. It is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Osnabrück during this time period.
