Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of both Christian and pagan imagery. On one side, it depicts a cross and a crescent moon, symbolizing the Christian faith, while on the other side, it features an image of a bracteate, a type of medieval German coin, with a depiction of a pagan deity. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Margraviate of Brandenburg during the 13th century.
