Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin featuring Hartwig II of Hirnheim is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Bishopric of Augsburg. The coin was issued during the reign of Bishop Hartwig II, who was known for his efforts to reform the church and assert its authority in the region.
