Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier Bracteate coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with narrow arms that widen at the ends) on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This cross is believed to have been added to the coin's design to symbolize the coin's connection to the Bishopric of Augsburg and its religious significance.
