Interesting fact
The Bishopric of Halberstadt was a significant center of power and influence in the German States during the Middle Ages, and its coinage reflects this history. One interesting fact about the Denier - Branthog ND (1023-1036) coin is that it features an image of the Bishop of Halberstadt on one side and the Holy Roman Emperor on the other. This highlights the close relationship between the church and the secular authority in the region during that time.
