Interesting fact
The coin features an image of a lion on one side, which was a symbol of strength and courage in medieval times. The lion was also a symbol of the ruling House of Guelph, which was a powerful dynasty in the region. The coin's design was meant to convey the power and authority of the ruling family, and it was a common motif on coins from this region during this time period.
