Comment

It is still not sure if this coin is from Memmingen or from Ulm.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double-headed eagle design, which was a symbol of the Holy Roman Empire. The use of this design on the coin signifies the city of Memmingen's connection to the Empire and its importance as a trading center during that time.
