Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pfennig coin from the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "P" on the reverse side, which represents the name of the bishop, Peter II Rascher. This distinctive feature helps to distinguish it from other coins of the same era and region.
