Interesting fact

The "Lilienpfennig" coin from the County of Freiburg (German States) is interesting because it features a unique design that has been passed down through generations. The coin's obverse side features a lily, which is a symbol of purity, innocence, and refined beauty. The lily design was first introduced in the 13th century and has been used on various coins throughout history. The coin's reverse side features the coat of arms of the County of Freiburg, which includes a shield with three lions and a crown. The combination of the lily and the coat of arms makes this coin a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
