Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. On one side, it depicts a cross, symbolizing Christianity, while on the other side, it features a image of a bracteate, which was a type of ancient Germanic gold coin. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex history and cultural exchange of the region during the Middle Ages.
