Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a boat - which is not commonly seen on coins from the Holy Roman Empire. This suggests that the mint at Speyer may have had a special connection to maritime trade or navigation. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and historical significance.
