Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Bishopric of Hildesheim. The coin was issued during the Sede Vacante period, which means "empty seat" in Latin, indicating that the bishop's seat was vacant. This period of time was marked by political instability and power struggles within the church, making the coin a unique piece of history.
