Comment
Imitation of the Adelaide Regency denarius bust (see link below). Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Bernard Ier et roi Otton III ND (983-1011) from Duchy of Saxony (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts King Bernard I and King Otto III, while the reverse side features a representation of the pagan deity, Thor, holding a hammer. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the time period in which the coin was minted.
