Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier anonyme à la Vierge ND (1047-1080) from Bishopric of Augsburg (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design during the reign of Bishop Henry III (1047-1080). This cross was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its addition was likely intended to symbolize the bishop's authority and connection to the Christian faith.
