Interesting fact
The Bishopric of Strasbourg, where this coin was minted, was a unique political entity in the Holy Roman Empire. It was a prince-bishopric, meaning the bishop was also the secular ruler of the territory, which was a rare combination of spiritual and temporal power. This coin, the Denier - Alwig ND (999-1001), was minted during the reign of Bishop Alwig, who ruled from 999 to 1001. It is made of silver and weighs 1.21 grams.
