Comment
Dannenb. (Schweiz) 4Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Conrad II (Zurich) ND (1027-1039) from Holy Roman Empire made of Silver weighing 0.63 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, also known as the "Conradine denier," was minted in several cities, including Zurich, and features an image of the emperor on one side and a cross on the other. It was an important step in the development of a standardized currency system in Europe.
