Interesting fact
The Denier Bracteate coin from Brunswick-Luneburg was used as a means of payment for several centuries, and its design remained relatively unchanged during that time. The coin's obverse features a crowned lion, while the reverse features a cross with four eagles. This design was used to symbolize the power and authority of the ruling dynasty, the House of Welf, and the coin's silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency. Despite its long use, the coin's design was eventually replaced in the 15th century by a new coinage system introduced by the ruling dukes.
