Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Ulrich VI ND (1529-1551) from County of Regenstein (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.23 g is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts the crucified Christ, while the reverse side features a image of a wild man, a mythical creature commonly found in medieval European folklore. This blending of religious and secular imagery is a fascinating example of the cultural and religious diversity of the time period.
