Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Margravate of Lower Lusatia, a region in eastern Germany, during the 12th to 14th centuries. Despite being made of silver, the coin was relatively small in weight, weighing only 0.36 grams. This suggests that the coin was likely used for small transactions or as a token of exchange, rather than as a large denomination coin.
