‘The most novel and curious of Danish twelfth-century coins however are those belong to the brief middle period of 1146-57. They consist of small bracteates... and have a great variety of designs: a crowned pair of heads, a warrior with shield or pennon, a two- or three-towered buidling, an Agnus Dei.’ Grierson, p.217
