Comment
Klein (KP) 30Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with narrow arms that widen at the ends) on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This cross is believed to have been added to the coin's design to symbolize the connection between the coin and the Christian faith.
