Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Benedict IV and emperor Louis III ND (901-903) from Papal States made of Silver weighing 1 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe. The Papal States, which were a series of territories in Italy under the direct rule of the Pope, were facing challenges from both within and outside their borders. The coin was minted during the reign of Pope Benedict IV, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and assert its authority over the Holy Roman Empire. At the same time, the Holy Roman Emperor, Louis III, was also trying to consolidate his power and assert his dominance over the Papal States. This coin, which bears the images of both leaders, is a tangible reminder of the complex political and religious dynamics of that time.
