Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Hartwig II of Utlede ND (1184-1207) from Archbishopric of Bremen (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.51 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts Hartwig II, the Archbishop of Bremen, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a tree, which was a common motif in medieval coinage and symbolized strength and stability. This blending of religious and secular themes reflects the complex cultural and religious landscape of medieval Europe and highlights the importance of the Archbishopric of Bremen as a major religious and political center during that time.
