One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Henry I of Biengarten ND (1127-1155) from Abbey of Hersfeld (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.00 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a bracteate, which is a type of ornament that was commonly used in pre-Christian Germanic cultures. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the time period in which the coin was minted.
