Comment
Fd.v.Göd.30Interesting fact
The Denier Bracteate coin was minted during the reign of John I, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg, who ruled from 1252 to 1277. The coin features an image of the duke on one side and a cross on the other, which was a common design element for coins during that time period. What's interesting is that this particular coin was minted using a unique method called "bracteate," which involved striking the coin between two dies that were attached to a handle, rather than using a traditional coin press. This method resulted in a thinner, more irregularly shaped coin that was easier to produce, but also less durable than coins minted using other methods.
