Interesting fact
The Denier Bracteate coin from the City of Brunswick (German States) was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to use a milled edge, which was a new technology at the time. This made it harder for counterfeiters to produce fake coins, and it also gave the coin a distinctive look and feel that set it apart from other coins.
