Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This cross is believed to have been added to the design to symbolize the Christian faith and to signify the coin's connection to the Bishopric of Speyer.
