Fd.v.Göd.68Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side depicts a cross, symbolizing Christianity, while the reverse side features a image of a bracteate, a type of medieval ornament, which was believed to have magical powers in pagan beliefs. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the time period in which it was minted.
