Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Vierzipfliger" Pfennig coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was issued by the Abbey of Fraumünster in Zurich, which was a powerful religious institution in the region. The coin's design, featuring a depiction of a four-leaf clover on one side and the abbey's coat of arms on the other, reflects the abbey's influence and authority. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a significant artifact of medieval European history and a testament to the economic and cultural exchange that took place during that time.
