Interesting fact
The Hartwig Denier coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great religious and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Bishop Hartwig (1018-1023), who played a significant role in the Investiture Controversy, a conflict between the Catholic Church and the Holy Roman Empire over the appointment of bishops and the authority of the Church. The coin's silver content and intricate design also reflect the economic and artistic developments of the time.
