Interesting fact
The Denier - Henri II (Eichstatt) ND (985-995) coin from Duchy of Bavaria (German States) made of Silver features an image of King Henri II on one side and a cross on the other. The coin was minted during Henri II's reign, which lasted from 985 to 995 AD. It's interesting to note that Henri II was only 10 years old when he became king, and he ruled for 10 years until his death in 995 AD. Despite his young age, Henri II was able to secure the support of the Church and the nobility, which helped to stabilize the kingdom during his reign.
