Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan symbols. The cross on the obverse (front) side represents Christianity, while the bow and lily on the reverse (back) side are symbols of paganism. This blending of religions reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the time period in which it was minted.
