One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the reign of Henry VI of Swinrode, who was the abbot of the Abbey of Hersfeld in the German States. Despite the political and economic challenges of the time, the Abbey of Hersfeld was able to mint its own coins, such as this denier bracteate, which was made of silver and weighed 0.35 grams. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of the Abbey of Hersfeld during a period of great upheaval.
