Interesting fact

The Denier Bracteate coin from the City of Einbeck (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in the early 17th century, a period marked by the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on the German states and their economies.
