Interesting fact

The Denier Bracteate coin from the City of Jena (German States) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin's silver content and small weight made it a popular choice for everyday transactions, and its design featured an image of the city's patron saint, St. John the Baptist, on one side and the city's coat of arms on the other. Despite its small size, this coin played an important role in the local economy and is now a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
