Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ludolf of Kroppenstedt Denier Bracteate is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which is a common symbol of Christianity, while the reverse side features a image of a pagan deity, possibly Thor or Odin, with a horned helmet and a spear. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the time period in which the coin was minted.
