Comment
C.I-279 One sided coinInteresting 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 formed by two curved lines that intersect at the center of the coin, creating a distinctive and recognizable pattern. The bracteate cross was a common feature on coins issued during the reign of Béla IV, and it has become a symbol of Hungarian coinage from that period.
