Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate ND (1250-1270) from Lordship of Markdorf (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.50 g is that it features a unique blend of medieval and modern design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned lion, a common motif in medieval coinage, while the reverse side features a stylized eagle, which was a popular symbol in the German States during the 13th century. This blend of old and new design elements makes the coin a fascinating example of the transitional period between medieval and modern coinage.
