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 bust of the Roman goddess Libertas, who represents freedom and liberty. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex and diverse nature of the Holy Roman Empire during the 13th century.
