Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate from Principality of Anhalt (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.5g is that it features a unique blend of medieval and early modern design elements. The coin's obverse side features a crowned bust of a king, while the reverse side features a cross fleury, which was a common motif in medieval coinage. However, the coin's overall design and style are more reminiscent of early modern coins, suggesting a blending of artistic traditions. This blend of styles makes the coin an interesting and unique piece of numismatic history.
