Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Tournose - Walram of Jülich ND (1344) from Archbishopric of Cologne (German States) made of Silver weighing 3.80 g is that it features a unique blend of medieval architectural elements and religious symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized representation of the Cologne Cathedral, which was a prominent landmark in the region and a symbol of the Archbishopric's power and influence. The reverse side features a cross fleury, which is a heraldic symbol associated with the Holy Roman Empire, of which the Archbishopric of Cologne was a part. This blend of religious and architectural elements reflects the close relationship between the church and state in medieval Europe.
