Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Adalbéron II ND (984-1005) from Bishopric of Metz (French States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Adalbéron II, the Bishop of Metz, on one side, and a cross on the other. This coin was minted during Adalbéron II's reign as bishop, which lasted from 984 to 1005, and it was used as a means of payment and exchange in the Bishopric of Metz and surrounding regions. Despite being made of silver, the coin is relatively small in size, with a diameter of around 18-20 millimeters. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
