Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a image of a bird, which was a common motif in pagan mythology. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Holy Roman Empire during the 13th century.
