Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Augsburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "H" and "K" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for the name of the ruler, Henry V of Knöringen. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the time and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
