Comment
Where did these guys get the idea of an elephant?Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin from Hungary is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts King Béla IV in a traditional medieval style, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a tree, which was a common motif in ancient Hungarian mythology. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex cultural landscape of medieval Hungary and adds to the coin's historical significance.
