Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Eberhard II of Waldburg-Thann ND (1250-1270) from Bishopric of Constance (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.46 g is that it features a unique blend of religious and secular imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, symbolizing the Christian faith, while the reverse side features a shield with the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Constance, representing the secular authority of the region. This blending of religious and secular elements reflects the complex power dynamics of medieval Europe, where the Church and secular rulers often had overlapping interests and influence.
