Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Otto II ND (1184-1205) from Margraviate of Brandenburg (German States) is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts Otto II, the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, with a crown and a scepter, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a bracteate, a type of medieval ornament, surrounded by foliage and other symbols. This blending of religious and secular motifs reflects the complex cultural and political landscape of medieval Europe, where Christianity and pre-Christian beliefs and practices coexisted and influenced each other.
