Interesting fact
The Denier anonyme (main) ND (966-1044) from Abbey of Quedlinburg (German States) made of Silver is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It is believed to have been minted during the reign of Emperor Henry II, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 966 to 1044. The coin's design features a crucifix on one side and an inscription on the other, which reads "DENARIUS ANONYMUS" (anonymous denier). The use of silver in the coin's minting process was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in contemporary coins, making it a unique and valuable piece in the history of numismatics.
