Interesting fact
The Denier anonymous ND (1000-1125) from Abbey of Corvey (German States) made of Silver is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. It is believed that the coin was minted in the 11th century, during the reign of Emperor Henry IV, and was used as a means of payment for the abbey's goods and services. The coin's design features a cross on one side and a legend on the other, which reads "CVRVIAE" (an abbreviation for "Corvey"). The coin's silver content and rarity make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians.
