Comment
Hahn - Moneta Radasponensis, 153.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Henry III (Augsburg) ND (1039-1056) from Holy Roman Empire made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Henry III, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1039 to 1056. This coin was used as a means of currency during his reign and features an image of Henry III on one side and a cross on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous coins that were made of copper or bronze, and it marked a shift towards the use of more valuable materials in coinage.
