<p>[QUOTE="Bert Gedin, post: 3111017, member: 92556"]Bracteates again. They were very thin, and, most likely, very frail. So they wouldn't have survived to the same extent as, for example, the sturdier ancient Roman coins, which probably would have been minted in for greater numbers. Anyone interested in pursuing knowledge about bracteate coins might contact, for instance the National Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark or Roskilde Town Museum, Roskilde Denmark. Sweden may also have bracteate resources, as origins were said to be in 5th century Scandinavia, then making their way throughout Europe from England to Hungary.- A few details which I haven't quite got my head around. Mint Authority, Margrave, Albert the Bear.- Mint - Wegeleben.- Year of Issue, 1123.- Weight (g) 0.82. - Diameter (mm) 27.0. - Material, Silver. Don't know if this is typical or atypical, it's just one example. But a walk of a thousand miles, as they say, starts with one step.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
