Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Conrad I (Basel) (937-993) from Kingdom of Arles (Carolingian States) made of Silver weighing 1.45 g is that it was minted during the reign of Conrad I, who was the first king of the Carolingian States, a dynasty that played a significant role in shaping medieval Europe. The coin's design and minting process were likely influenced by the Carolingian Renaissance, a cultural and intellectual movement that revived classical knowledge and art during the 8th and 9th centuries.
