Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Conradin of Hohenstaufen ND (1258-1268) from Duchy of Swabia (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.55 g is that it features a unique blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's reverse features a depiction of a city gate with a pointed arch, which is a characteristic feature of Gothic architecture. However, the gate is flanked by two columns with capitals that are decorated with acanthus leaves, which is a common feature of Romanesque architecture. This blend of styles reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time period in which the coin was minted.
