Comment
Fd.v.Göd.24Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John I, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the economy of his duchy. The coin's design features a bracteate, or a thin, flat piece of metal, with a cross pattée on one side and the Duke's name and title on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a sign of the duchy's wealth and prosperity during this time.
