Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe, particularly in the German States. The Bishopric of Merseburg was a powerful ecclesiastical state that played a significant role in the region's politics and trade during the Middle Ages. The fact that this coin was made of silver and weighs 1.01 grams suggests that it was a valuable and widely used form of currency during its time.
