Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Conrad I of Brno ND (1061-1092) from Duchy of Brno (Moravia) made of Billon weighing 0.53 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a tree, which was a common motif in pre-Christian Slavic mythology. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Duchy of Brno during the 11th century.
