Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Sceat - Domburg (700-720) from Frisia (Kingdoms of British Isles and Frisia) made of Silver weighing 0.9 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes the Christian faith, while the reverse side features a image of a pagan deity, possibly Woden or Thor, highlighting the cultural influences of the time. This blending of religious motifs reflects the complex spiritual landscape of Frisia during the 7th to 8th centuries and offers a fascinating insight into the cultural exchange and evolution of the region.
