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 German coin that was believed to have magical powers. This blending of religious and superstitious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the time period in which the coin was minted.
