Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Hildegard Brakteat coin is that it features an image of Saint Hildegard of Bingen, a prominent German Benedictine abbess, writer, composer, and visionary, who was canonized in 2012. The coin's design was inspired by a 12th-century manuscript illustration of Hildegard, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists and enthusiasts of medieval history.
