Comment
Minted in Marburg or KasselInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Henry I ND (1263-1308) from Landgraviate of Hessen (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.5 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Henry I, who was the first king of the House of Hesse, a powerful dynasty that ruled over a large portion of Germany for centuries. The coin's design features the king's name and title on one side, and a cross on the other, which was a common motif on coins of the time. Despite its small size, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political systems of medieval Europe.
