Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Hermann I, who was the Bishop of Dorpat (now known as Tartu, Estonia) from 1224 to 1248. The coin features an image of Hermann I on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the close relationship between the church and the state during that time.
