Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Henry I (Verdun) (925-936) from Kingdom of East Francia (Carolingian Empire) made of Silver weighing 1.36 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Carolingian Empire, which was established by Charlemagne in the 8th century, was in decline during the reign of Henry I, and the kingdom was facing challenges from external threats and internal power struggles. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the period remained a symbol of the kingdom's power and influence, and the Denier - Henry I (Verdun) coin is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time.
