Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Gothelo I / Gothelo II (1023-1046) from Duchy of Lower Lotharingia (Carolingian States) made of Silver is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts Gothelo I or Gothelo II, depending on the specific issue, with a crown and a scepter, while the reverse side features a cross surrounded by four birds, which is a symbol of the four evangelists. This blending of religious and secular motifs reflects the complex cultural and religious landscape of the Carolingian States during this time period.
