Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Herman ND (1048-1065) from Bishopric of Strasbourg (French States) made of Silver weighing 1.06 g is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Pope Leo IX, who was instrumental in the development of the Gregorian Reforms, which aimed to reform the Catholic Church and its practices. Additionally, the coin was minted during the time of the Investiture Controversy, which was a conflict between the Church and the Holy Roman Empire over the appointment of bishops and the control of Church lands. This coin is a small but fascinating piece of history that provides a glimpse into the complex political and religious landscape of medieval Europe.
