Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Burchard III (Brisach) ND (954-973) from Duchy of Swabia (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a cross pattée, which is a type of cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends, resembling a patte or a paw. This design element was commonly used in medieval art and architecture, particularly in religious contexts, and its inclusion on the coin may have been intended to symbolize the coin's connection to the Christian faith or to convey a sense of protection or blessing.
