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 meant to symbolize the power and influence of the Brunswick-Luneburg dynasty, which ruled over a large portion of northern Germany during the Middle Ages. Despite its long usage, the coin was eventually phased out in favor of more modern currency. Today, it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its rich history and unique design.
