Interesting fact
The Hermann II Light Denier coin from the Bishopric of Bamberg (German States) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized depiction of the bishop's mitre on the obverse (front side), and a cross fleury on the reverse (back side). This design was used during Hermann II's reign from 1170 to 1177 and was meant to symbolize the bishop's authority and connection to the Catholic Church.
