Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier anonyme ND (1000-1020) from Bishopric of Eichstätt (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Bishop Gebhard II von Hohenlohe, who ruled the Bishopric of Eichstätt from 1000 to 1020. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was facing challenges from external forces, such as the Viking raids and the expansion of the Polish and Hungarian kingdoms. Despite these challenges, the Bishopric of Eichstätt was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, thanks in part to its strategic location along the Rhine River and its rich silver mines. The coin itself is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the medieval mint masters, who were able to produce high-quality coins despite the limited technology and resources available at the time.
