Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Weißpfennig ND (1421-1422) coin from the Archbishopric of Cologne is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted during the reign of Archbishop Dietrich II von Moers. This small cross is not found on other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
