Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry V, who was the first king of England to issue a silver coinage that was widely accepted across Europe. This coin, the Denier Bracteate, was part of that silver coinage and features an image of Henry V on one side and a cross on the other. It was minted in the County of Stolberg, which was a small state in what is now modern-day Germany, and was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Despite its small size, this coin played an important role in the economy of the region and is now a rare and valuable collector's item.
