Interesting fact
The Denier coin from the City of Demmin (German States) features a unique design element - a lily and a gryphon on opposite sides of the coin. This design was used to symbolize the unity and balance between the church and the state, with the lily representing the church and the gryphon representing the state. This design was used on many coins during this time period in the German States, but the specific combination of a lily and a gryphon on the same coin is a distinctive feature of the Demmin Denier.
