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 and a crescent moon, symbolizing the Christian faith, while on the other side, it features a image of a bracteate, a type of medieval German coin, with a depiction of a tree and a bird, which may represent a pre-Christian Germanic motif. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the time period in which it was minted.
