Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Denier Bracteate (Ravensburg) ND (1258-1268) from the Holy Roman Empire is that it features a unique design element - a small bird, believed to be a raven, perched on the shield of the coat of arms. This design element has led numismatists to speculate that the coin may have been issued to commemorate the founding of the city of Ravensburg in 1258.
