Comment
The attribution to Minden is uncertain.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Conrad II (Minden mint; two figures) ND (1024-1039) from Holy Roman Empire made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - the two figures on the coin are depicted in a style known as "Minden style," which was a specific artistic style used in the Minden mint during the time period in which the coin was produced. This style is characterized by the use of simple, bold lines and a focus on geometric shapes, and can be seen in the way the figures are depicted on the coin. This distinctive style sets the coin apart from other coins produced during the same time period, and makes it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
