Comment
The attribution to Minden is uncertain.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Conrad II (Minden) ND (1024-1039) from Holy Roman Empire made of Silver weighing 1.40 g is that it was minted during the reign of Conrad II, who was the first Holy Roman Emperor to issue a standardized coinage across his empire. This coin, minted in Minden, was a significant departure from the varied and often irregular coinage that had been used in the past, and it helped to establish a standardized system of currency that would be used for centuries to come.
