Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Conrad I (Mainz) (911-918) coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the Carolingian Empire. The coin was issued by Conrad I, who was the King of East Francia from 911 to 918, and it features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous bronze coins, and it reflects the growing influence of the Carolingian Empire on trade and commerce in Europe during this period.
