Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of religious and secular imagery. On one side, it depicts a bishop's head, representing the Bishopric of Constance, while on the other side, it features a stag, which was a common symbol of the Staufen dynasty. This blending of religious and secular symbols reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the time.
