Comment
Imitation of the Münster denarius with the legend MIMIAGARDEPR (see link below). Interesting fact
The Abbey of Herford, where this coin was minted, was a significant cultural and religious center in the German States during the Middle Ages. The abbey was founded in 772 AD and was known for its beautiful architecture and vibrant artistic and intellectual community. The abbey's mint was established in the 11th century, and it produced a variety of coins, including the Denier anonymous ND (1075-1125) coin made of silver. This coin is a testament to the abbey's economic and cultural influence during that time period.
