Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Bernhard III ND (1180-1212) from Duchy of Saxony (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.56 g is that it was minted during the reign of Bernhard III, who was the Duke of Saxony from 1180 to 1212. This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during his rule, and it features an image of the Duke on one side and a cross on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant innovation at the time, as it was a more durable and valuable material than the copper coins that were previously used. This coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the economic and political history of the region during the medieval period.
