Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of 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 ornament, which was believed to have magical powers and was often used in pagan rituals. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Margraviate of Brandenburg during that time period.
