Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg from 1252 to 1277. This coin is a rare example of a silver denier bracteate, which was a type of coin that was commonly used in Europe during the Middle Ages. The coin's design features a cross on one side and a crowned lion on the other, which symbolizes the duke's power and authority. Despite its small size, this coin is a significant piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political systems of medieval Europe.
