Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Conrad I and Otto ND (1055-1056) from Duchy of Brno (Moravia) made of Silver is that it features the first known use of the image of a ruler on a coin in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin depicts Conrad I, the Duke of Brno, and his son Otto, who later became the Holy Roman Emperor. This was a significant departure from the traditional practice of featuring religious symbols or imagery on coins, and marked a shift towards the use of secular imagery in coinage.
