Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée on the reverse side, which is not commonly found on coins from this time period. This cross pattée is believed to have been added to the coin's design to symbolize the Christian faith of the ruler, Henry XI Jasomirgott, and to signify his connection to the Church. This feature makes the coin stand out among other coins from the same era and adds to its historical significance.
