Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a image of a bracteate, which is a type of medieval ornament that was popular in pagan cultures. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Margraviate of Brandenburg during the 13th century.
