Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of both Gothic and Romanesque architectural styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a Gothic-style portrait of Henry II, while the reverse side features a Romanesque-style depiction of a castle, which was a common motif in coins from the German States during this time period. This blend of styles reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the region during the 13th century.
