Interesting fact

The Denier - Henri II (Stade) ND (976-1016) coin from the County of Stade (German States) made of Silver features a unique design element - a cross pattée, which is a type of cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends. This design was commonly used in medieval art and architecture, and its inclusion on the coin may have been intended to symbolize the connection between the county and the Christian faith.
