Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Anonymous ND (1360-1364) from Teutonic Order (German States) made of Billon weighing 0.15 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a image of a bracteate, which is a type of medieval ornament that was popular in pagan cultures. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Teutonic Order and the German States during the 14th century.
