Comment
Slg. Löbbecke 19Interesting 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 Ulrich of Reinstein, the Bishop of Halberstadt, while the reverse side features a depiction of a pagan deity, possibly Thor or Odin, holding a hammer. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the time period in which the coin was minted.
