Comment
Mödesse II 43aInteresting fact
The Berno ND (1190-1194) Denier Bracteate from the Bishopric of Hildesheim (German States) is a rare example of a coin that was minted during the Middle Ages with a unique feature - it has a hole in the center. This hole was intentionally made during the minting process and was used to thread a cord or string through, allowing the coin to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This feature is known as a "bracteate" and was a common feature in coins during the medieval period.
