Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Light Denier coin from the Bishopric of Augsburg 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 Bishop Conrad of Hirscheck during his reign from 1150 to 1167.
