Comment
Very rare. According to Kunker (Auction 121 (2007)) only a few examples known.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Conrad (Utrecht) ND (1076-1099) from Bishopric of Utrecht (Dutch States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that reflects the religious influences of the time. The coin bears an image of Saint Martin, the patron saint of Utrecht, on horseback, symbolizing the bishopric's strong ties to the Catholic Church. This design was specifically chosen by Bishop Conrad, who was known for his piety and devotion to the Church. The coin's design has been well-preserved over the centuries, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians interested in the intersection of religion and currency.
