Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the Florentian lily, which was a popular symbol in medieval Europe, particularly in Florence, Italy. The lily was seen as a symbol of purity, innocence, and refined beauty, and it was often used in art and architecture. The fact that it appears on this coin from the City of Demmin in the German States suggests that the city may have had cultural or trade ties with Florence or other parts of Italy during this time period.
