Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate ND (1350-1400) from Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.40 g is that it features a unique blend of medieval and Renaissance elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a seated figure of the Virgin Mary, while the reverse side features a depiction of the city's coat of arms, which includes a shield with a hanseatic cross and a crowned lion. This blend of religious and civic symbols reflects the important role that the city of Lübeck played in the Hanseatic League, a powerful mercantile and cultural organization that dominated trade in the Baltic Sea region during the Middle Ages.
