Interesting fact

The Siboto of Seefeld denier bracteate, minted between 1227 and 1249, features an unusual design element - a stylized tree with branches that spread out from the center, creating a sense of radial symmetry. This design was a departure from the more common cross or ornate lettering found on coins of the time, and it gives the Siboto denier a distinctive and recognizable appearance.
