Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin from Hungary is that it features a unique design element known as a "bracteate cross" on its reverse side. This cross is made up of four small balls or disks, each connected to the center of the cross by a small stem. The bracteate cross was a popular design element in medieval coinage and is believed to have been used to symbolize the four evangelists or the four corners of the earth.
