Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Guy I ND (1033-1055) from Archbishopric of Reims (French States) made of Billon weighing 1.37 g is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political significance in France. The coin was issued during the reign of Guy I, who was the Archbishop of Reims from 1033 to 1055. During this period, the Archbishopric of Reims was a powerful and influential entity in France, and the coinage issued by the archbishopric was widely used throughout the country. The fact that this coin was made of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, suggests that it was intended for everyday use and circulation, and its relatively small weight of 1.37 grams makes it a unique and interesting artifact from this time period.
