Comment
Reitz 19a, Fd.v.Bokel 149Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Otto das Kind ND (1213-1252) from County of Brunswick (Brunswick-Luneburg, German States) made of Silver weighing 0.51 g is that it features a unique blend of medieval and early modern design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned and mantled king, likely representing Otto das Kind, while the reverse side features a stylized eagle with outstretched wings and a shield bearing the coat of arms of the County of Brunswick. This combination of motifs reflects the blending of medieval royal iconography with the heraldic symbols of the emerging territorial states of the Holy Roman Empire during the 13th century.
