Interesting fact
The Hartmann I Denier coin from the Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great religious and political significance in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Bishop Hartmann I, who played a crucial role in the Investiture Controversy, a conflict between the church and the Holy Roman Empire over the appointment of bishops and the authority of the Pope. The coin's silver content and intricate design also reflect the economic and artistic developments of the time.
