Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a tree, which is a common motif in pre-Christian Slavic mythology. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Kingdom of Bohemia during the 13th century.
