Comment
B.u.M.81Interesting fact
The 1 Witten coin from the City of Hannover (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.03g has a unique feature. It has a crescent moon and a star on the obverse side, which symbolizes the Islamic faith. This is interesting because the coin was minted during a time when the Holy Roman Empire was still predominantly Christian. The inclusion of Islamic symbols on the coin suggests that there was a level of religious tolerance and diversity in the region at the time.
