Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Hugo I, who was the Count Palatine of Tübingen from 1162 to 1182. The County Palatine of Tübingen was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin was likely used for local trade and commerce. The fact that it was made of silver suggests that it was a valuable and durable coin, and its weight of 0.65 grams indicates that it was a small coin, likely similar in size to a modern-day penny.
