Comment
Jospeh 266Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of George of Schönenberg, the Bishop of Worms, on one side, and a depiction of the Worms Cathedral on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, and its design reflects the significance of the Catholic Church and its leaders during that period.
