Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate - Udalschalk of Eschenlohe ND (1190-1202) from Bishopric of Augsburg (German States) is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which is a common feature on coins from this time period, while the reverse side shows a stylized image of a tree, which is a symbol associated with the pagan Germanic god Thor. This blending of religious symbols reflects the complex religious landscape of medieval Europe, where Christianity and pagan beliefs coexisted and influenced each other.
