Comment
Imitation of the Otto and Adelaide denarii (see link below). Interesting fact
The Denier anonymous ND (966-1044) from Abbey of Quedlinburg (German States) made of Silver is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency during the medieval period in Europe, specifically in the German States. It was minted by the Abbey of Quedlinburg, which was a powerful and influential religious institution during that time. The fact that it was made of silver suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin, as silver was a prized metal during the medieval period. Additionally, the fact that it was anonymous, meaning it did not bear the name of the ruler or issuer, suggests that it was issued by a local authority or a private individual, rather than a centralized government. This coin provides a fascinating glimpse into the economic and social history of medieval Europe.
