Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal during the time it was produced. The fact that it weighs 0.18g suggests that it was a small coin, which was likely used for everyday transactions. Additionally, the fact that it features an unknown abbot suggests that it may have been produced during a time of political or religious upheaval, when the identity of the abbot may have been controversial or uncertain.
