Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin is that it features a unique blend of religious and secular imagery. On one side, it bears the image of Irmgard von Kirchberg, the Abbess of Quedlinburg, while the other side features the coat of arms of the Abbey of Quedlinburg. This blending of religious and secular symbols reflects the complex relationship between the church and state during the medieval period.
