One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Udo I ND (1125-1148) from Bishopric of Naumburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.87 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a bracteate, a type of ornament that was commonly used in pre-Christian Germanic cultures. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious transformations that were taking place in Europe during the 12th century.
