Interesting fact
The Adolphe II Denier coin from the County of Berg (Berg, German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. Adolphe II was a powerful German noble who played a significant role in the political and military conflicts of the time. This coin, bearing his name and image, would have been a symbol of his power and influence. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, would have made it a highly sought-after currency in trade and commerce.
