Interesting fact
The Denier Bracteate coin from the City of Brunswick (German States) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) had caused widespread devastation and disrupted trade routes, leading to a shortage of coinage in many regions. As a result, the City of Brunswick and other German states began minting their own coins to address the shortage. The Denier Bracteate was one such coin, and it remained in circulation for over 30 years, indicating its importance in the local economy.
