Interesting fact
The 1 Witten coin from the City of Anklam (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.27g has a unique feature. It has a crescent moon and a star on the obverse side, which is a symbol of the Islamic faith. This is unusual for a coin from a German state, as Islam was not widely practiced in the region during the 14th century when the coin was minted. It's a fascinating example of cultural exchange and influence during the medieval period.
