Gebhart Kempten 1bInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Ulrich IV of Heidegg ND (1160) from Abbey of Reichenau (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.56 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts Ulrich IV, the Abbot of Reichenau, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a pagan deity, possibly Thor or Odin. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the time period and adds to the coin's historical significance.
