Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. On one side, it depicts a cross and a bishop's mitre, symbolizing the Christian faith, while on the other side, it features a stylized image of a tree, which was a common motif in pre-Christian Germanic art. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious shifts that were taking place in Europe during the 13th century.
