Interesting fact
The Denier coin from the Bishopric of Utrecht, made of silver, was used as a means of payment for the people of the region. It was first introduced during the reign of Conrad (Stavoren) in the late 11th century and continued to be used until the early 12th century. The coin was designed with an image of the bishop on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the religious authority of the bishopric. This coin was an important part of the local economy and played a significant role in the financial transactions of the time.
