Fd.v.Göd.206Interesting fact
The Denier Bracteate coin from the City of Dömitz (German States) was minted during a time of great economic and cultural growth in Europe, particularly in the Hanseatic League, of which Dömitz was a member. The Hanseatic League was a powerful trading federation that dominated trade in the Baltic Sea and much of Northern Europe during the Middle Ages. The league's influence can be seen in the coin's design, which features a depiction of a city gate on one side and a crowned head on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the wealth and prosperity of the region during this time.
