Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Rainald of Dassel denier coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of coins issued by the Archbishopric of Cologne during that time period.
