Interesting fact
The Einbeck Denier Bracteate coin from the German States, minted between 1501 and 1510, is interesting because it was made during a time when the city of Einbeck was an important trading center and a member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful mercantile and cultural organization that dominated trade in the region. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms, which includes a shield with three roses, and a crowned eagle, symbolizing the city's wealth and status. Despite its small size, weighing only 0.30 grams, the coin played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce in the region during its time.
