Interesting fact
The Denier - Henri Ier (Mâcon) ND (1031-1060) coin from France was minted during the reign of King Henry I, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the French monarchy. This coin was one of the first to feature a monarch's name and title on the obverse (front side), which was a departure from earlier coins that had featured only symbols or abbreviations. This change in design reflected the growing power and influence of the French monarchy during this period.
