Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Bardo (Erfurt) ND (1031-1051) from Archbishopric of Mainz (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.1 g is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Henry III, who was known for his extensive coinage reforms. This coin was part of a series of coins that were minted to standardize currency across the Holy Roman Empire, and it features the image of a bust of the emperor on one side and a cross on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was also significant, as it reflected the value placed on the metal at the time and the importance of the coin in trade and commerce.
