Fd.v.Göd.42.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 ancient Germanic jewelry that was believed to have magical powers. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex and diverse cultural landscape of the Margraviate of Brandenburg during the 13th century.
