Comment

Minted in Rotenburg an der Fulda

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 facing challenges from external threats and internal conflicts. Despite these challenges, the Denier Bracteate coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the German states, reflecting the stability and economic strength of the region during this time.
