Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which is not commonly found on coins from this time period. This cross is believed to have been added to the coin's design to signify the coin's connection to the Bishopric of Freising, which was a powerful religious institution in the region. This coin is a rare example of a coin that combines both religious and secular symbols, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
