Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the hand of Bishop Peter of Brixey is depicted in reverse, which is a rare occurrence in medieval coinage. This design choice may have been made to symbolize the bishop's humility or to distinguish the coin from other coins featuring the same bishop's image.
