Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Otto IV ND (1208-1215) from the Holy Roman Empire is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts Otto IV crowned and holding a scepter, while the reverse side shows a naked figure of the Roman goddess Victory holding a palm branch and a trophy. This blending of religious symbols reflects the complex religious and political landscape of the Holy Roman Empire during this time period.
