Interesting fact
The Denier Bracteate coin was minted during the reign of Hermann I, who was the Landgrave of Thuringia from 1190 to 1217. The coin features an image of Hermann I on one side and a cross on the other. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, when the Holy Roman Empire was struggling for power and control. Despite this, the Landgraviate of Thuringia was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, like this one, which is a testament to the region's economic and political strength at the time.
