Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Benedict IV ND (900-901) from Papal States made of Silver weighing 1.09 g is that it was minted during a time of significant 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's minting during this time period is a testament to the Papal States' resilience and ability to maintain their economic and political systems despite the surrounding turmoil.
