Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Eberhard II of Waldburg-Thann ND (1248-1274) from Bishopric of Constance (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.48 g is that it features a unique blend of religious and secular imagery. On one side, the coin bears the image of the Bishop of Constance, representing the religious authority of the time, while on the other side, it features the coat of arms of the House of Waldburg-Thann, representing the secular power of the ruling family. This blending of religious and secular symbols reflects the complex power dynamics of the time and highlights the close relationship between the church and the ruling families in the German States during the 13th century.
