Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Henry I (Strasbourg) (919-936) from Kingdom of East Francia (Carolingian Empire) made of Silver 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 features an image of Henry I on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing his role as a Christian king. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous bronze coins, as it reflected the growing influence of the Carolingian Empire and its increased economic power.
