Comment
Saint Lull founded Hersfeld Abbey in 768 and obtained Charlemagne's patronage in 775. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pre-Christian imagery. The obverse side depicts Saint Lull and Charlemagne, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a pagan deity, highlighting the cultural and religious influences of the time.
