Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier coin of Anastasius III (911-913) from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval. The Papal States were facing challenges from both internal and external forces, including the Holy Roman Empire and the Muslim conquests in the Mediterranean. Despite these challenges, the Papal States were able to maintain their independence and continue minting their own coins, such as the Denier, which was an important symbol of their sovereignty.
