Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Guldiner - Phillipp de Platea 1528 coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "S" and "P" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Sion" and "Phillipp de Platea," the bishop who issued the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the time and makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
