Interesting fact

The Denier Bracteate coin was minted during the reign of Albert I, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel from 1252 to 1279. What's interesting is that Albert I was also known for his military campaigns against the pagan tribes in the north, and his efforts to spread Christianity in the region. This coin, which was minted during his reign, could have potentially been used to finance some of those military campaigns or missionary efforts.
