Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin is that it was minted during the reign of Conrad I, who was the first Margrave of Meissen and a prominent figure in the German States during the 12th century. The coin's design features the image of a lion, which was a symbol of strength and power in medieval times. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight made it a valuable and practical form of currency for everyday transactions.
