Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dicken - Matthaus Schiner ND (1499-1522) coin from the Bishopric of Sion (Valais) is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which is not typically found on coins from this region or time period. This cross is believed to have been added to the coin's design to signify the coin's connection to the Catholic Church and the Bishopric of Sion.
