It's a bit worn and dark so hard to photograph.
Well done.

The guy wearing a halo and holding a grill is St. Lawrence (so you can make a good guess how he died).

I'm guessing a BBQ incident?

Bacchus2, the monogram on the quarter Stuber looks a bit like what you find on Russian Kopeks.

... and probably not smoke inhalation.

That is a beautiful bracteate, @Keith. I know that's supposed to be Saint Mauricius (St. Moritz), but the "normal" iconography has him in a soldier's attire: helmet, chain mail, etc, like this one struck around the same time: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=15584401

Interesting!

I'll stick with Magdeburg, and this denar dated to 1023-1051.

Though the obverse legend here also uses that saint's name (SC'S MAVRICIVS) the bust doesn't match, since it is crowned, diademed and no halo. So it's probably meant to be the emperor (Henry II, Conrad II or Henry III, take your pick). I am going with Henry III because he was known to be pious during his lifetime (he's the saint on the Bamberg coins posted upthread), and probably would have been delighted to have his image appear with a saint's name.
