Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the medieval period in the Bishopric of Dorpat, which is now known as Tartu in Estonia. The coin was made of silver and weighed only 0.13 grams, making it a very small and portable form of currency. Despite its small size, it was an important part of the economy during that time and was used for everyday transactions.
