Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin 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 III of Virneburg, who was the Archbishop of Mainz from 1328 to 1337. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was facing economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. Despite these challenges, the Denier Bracteate coin remained a stable and widely used currency in the German States.
