Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side. The Lily and Gryphon are both featured prominently, with the Lily representing purity and innocence, while the Gryphon represents strength and courage. This combination of symbols was commonly used in medieval heraldry and is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the City of Demmin during this time period.
