Sch#1189Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin of Anna II of Limburg is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued by the Abbey of Herford, which was a powerful religious institution in the German States, and it features an image of Anna II, the abbess of the abbey, on one side and the coat of arms of the abbey on the other. This coin is a rare example of a coin issued by a religious institution during this time period and provides a unique insight into the economic and political systems of the region.
