Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Henry II ND (985-995) from Duchy of Bavaria (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.70 g is that it was minted during the reign of Henry II, who was the first king of the Ottonian dynasty and ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 919 to 936. This coin was likely used as a means of exchange and payment during his reign and would have been a common sight in the markets and trading centers of Bavaria and other German states at that time.
