Comment
Müller 1892Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Heller Bracteate coin is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. On one side, it depicts the crucified Christ, while on the other, it shows a image of the Roman goddess of fortune, Fortuna, with her wheel of fortune. This blending of religious and mythological symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the time period in which it was minted.
