Comment

The hollow cross Artigs of Arnold von Vietinghof (1359-1364), Wilhelm von Vrymersheim (1364-1385), Robin von Eltz (1385-1389), and Wennemar von Brüggeneye (1389-1401) can be difficult to distinguish. The differences are in the symbols that appear on the bottom of both the obverse and the reverse.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a hollow cross, which was a unique design element for coins during that time period.
