Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Henri V (Worms) ND (1106-1125) from Holy Roman Empire made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design during Henri V's reign. This cross was not present on earlier coins of the same denomination, and its addition was likely a deliberate choice made by the mint officials or the ruling authority to signify the coin's connection to the Christian faith. This small detail provides a fascinating insight into the religious and cultural influences that shaped the coinage of the Holy Roman Empire during that time period.
