Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier coin is that it was issued during the reign of Berthold I von Teck, who was the Bishop of Strasbourg from 1223 to 1244. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by the Bishopric of Strasbourg during this time period, and it features an image of the bishop on one side and a cross on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a common practice during this time, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely accepted for trade and commerce.
