Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the reign of Berthold II-IV, who was the abbot of the Abbey of Fulda from 1288 to 1313. During this period, the abbey was facing financial difficulties, and the minting of these coins was likely a way for the abbey to generate revenue and maintain its economic stability. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the medieval period, with its intricate designs and use of precious metals like silver.
