Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Eberhard II of Regensberg, who was a powerful bishop and politician in the 13th century. He played a significant role in the political and religious conflicts of his time, and his coinage reflects the influence of the Bishopric of Salzburg in the Austrian States. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight also make it a notable example of medieval coinage.
