Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of medieval and early modern design elements. The obverse (front) side of the coin bears a simplified depiction of a shield with a cross, which was a common motif in medieval heraldry. However, the reverse (back) side of the coin features a more intricate design, including a floral pattern and a crescent moon, which were popular design elements in early modern coinage. This blend of styles reflects the transitional period in which the coin was minted, as the medieval era gave way to the early modern period.
