Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin is that it was issued during the reign of Christian of Buch, who was the Archbishop of Mainz from 1167 to 1183. This coin was used as a means of payment and was widely accepted in the German States during that time. Despite its small weight of 0.70 grams, it was made of silver, which gave it significant value in the economy of the time.
