Comment
Fd.v.Göd.69.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 the Christian faith, 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 Archbishopric of Bremen during the 13th century.
