Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Otto IV and Otto V ND (1280) from Margraviate of Brandenburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.67 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts Otto IV and Otto V standing facing each other, holding a scepter and an orb, symbols of their royal power. The reverse side features a representation of the pagan deity Jupiter, seated on a throne and holding a lightning bolt, surrounded by the Latin inscription "IUPITER CONSERVA NOS" ("Jupiter, preserve us"). This blending of religious imagery reflects the cultural and religious influences of the time and adds to the historical significance of the coin.
