Suhle 10, Hausw. 202Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Moritzpfennig coin is that it was used as a means of payment in the Archbishopric of Magdeburg during the 12th century, and it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a ruler, in this case, Archbishop Moritz of Seeburg.
