Interesting fact

The Denier Bracteate coin was issued during the reign of John I, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg, who ruled from 1252 to 1277. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a type of cross with narrow arms and a rounded head) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of Brunswick-Luneburg coins during this period. This cross pattée design was used to signify the coin's origins and to distinguish it from other coins circulating in the region.
