Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a double lily, which was a common motif in medieval European coinage, while the reverse side features a gryphon, a mythical creature that was often associated with strength and courage. The use of these two symbols together on one coin is a distinctive feature of this particular issue from the City of Demmin.
