Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Godefroid III (Leer) (1065-1069) from Duchy of Lower Lotharingia (Carolingian States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. While most coins of that time period depicted religious symbols or monarchs, this coin features a image of a lion, which was a symbol of strength and courage in medieval times. This design choice was likely intended to convey the power and authority of the ruler, Godefroid III, and to promote his image as a strong and capable leader.
