Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Adalbero IV ND (1104-1115) from Bishopric of Metz (French States) made of Silver weighing 0.7 g is that it was minted during the reign of Adalbero IV, who was the Bishop of Metz from 1104 to 1115. This coin is a rare example of a silver denier minted during this time period, as most coins from this era were made of base metals. The fact that it was made of silver suggests that it was a high-value coin, possibly used for large transactions or as a store of value. Additionally, the coin's design, which features a cross on one side and the bishop's name on the other, reflects the strong influence of the Catholic Church during this time period.
