Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique horse design on the obverse (front side), known as the "Sattelkopfpferd" type, which translates to "saddle-headed horse" in German. This design depicts a horse with a distinctive saddle-shaped marking on its forehead, and is a distinguishing feature of this particular coin.
