Gotha 183aInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Louis III ND (1172-1190) from Landgraviate of Thuringia (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.91 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a bracteate, which is a type of ornament that was commonly used in pre-Christian Germanic cultures. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Landgraviate of Thuringia during the 12th century.
