One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Bernard ND (1170-1212) from Duchy of Saxe-Wittenberg (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.82 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a bracteate, which is a type of ornament that was commonly used in pre-Christian Germanic cultures.
