Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political change in Europe. The Bishopric of Strasbourg, where the coin was minted, was a powerful ecclesiastical state that played a significant role in the political and religious upheavals of the 12th and 13th centuries. The coin's minting during this period suggests that it may have been used to finance military campaigns or other political endeavors of the Bishopric.
