Comment
Multiple varieties exist. Each variety should have its own line according to Flon references.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Bertram ND (1180-1210) from Bishopric of Metz (French States) is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of coins minted during the reign of Bishop Bertram. This design element helps to distinguish this coin from other coins of the same era and region.
