Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Henry I (Konstanz) (919-936) from Kingdom of East Francia (Carolingian Empire) made of Silver weighing 1.52 g is that it was minted during the reign of Henry I, also known as Henry the Fowler, who was the King of East Francia from 919 to 936. He was known for his military campaigns against the Magyars and his efforts to unify the various German tribes under his rule. The coin's design likely reflects the influence of the Carolingian Empire's cultural and artistic style during that time period.
