Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Holy Roman Empire. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the empire was still reeling from the devastation. Despite this, the Archbishopric of Mainz was able to continue minting coins, such as this Denier Bracteate, which was used as a means of exchange among the people. This coin's existence is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of the time.
