One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Otto ND (1308-1326) from Landgraviate of Hessen (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.38 g is that it features a unique blend of medieval Gothic and Romanesque architectural styles on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a stylized representation of a city gate, complete with towers, battlements, and a central archway, which is flanked by two lions. This design is a nod to the rich cultural heritage of the Landgraviate of Hessen and its capital city, Marburg, which was an important center of trade and commerce during the Middle Ages.
