Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of St. Maurice of Agaune abbey, who was a prominent Christian martyr and leader of the Theban Legion, a group of Christian soldiers who were martyred for their faith in the 3rd century. The coin's design was likely meant to promote the ideals of Christianity and loyalty to the Holy Roman Empire.
