Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin from the City of Magdeburg is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was minted during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who was known for his efforts to centralize power and stabilize the economy. Despite these efforts, the coinage of the time was often irregular and varied widely in quality and design, making the Denier Bracteate a unique and interesting example of the currency of the period.
