Interesting fact
The Albert ND (1201-1227) Denier Bracteate from the Danish County of Nordalbingia (German States) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements. On one side, the coin bears the image of a cross, symbolizing Christianity, while on the other side, it features a depiction of a pagan deity, possibly Odin or Thor, highlighting the cultural influences of the time. This blending of religious motifs reflects the complex religious landscape of medieval Europe, where Christianity coexisted with lingering pagan beliefs.
