Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Adalbert ND (1043-1066) from Archbishopric of Bremen (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Adalbert, who was the Archbishop of Bremen from 1043 to 1066. This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during his tenure, and it features an image of Adalbert on one side and a cross on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous coins minted in the region, which were made of copper or other base metals. The introduction of silver coins helped to stabilize the currency and increase trade in the region.
