Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Hildolf (buste à gauche) ND (1076-1079) from Archbishopric of Cologne (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Hildolf, who was the Archbishop of Cologne from 1076 to 1079. This coin is a rare example of a silver denier minted during this time period, as most coins from this era were made of copper or other base metals. The fact that it was made of silver suggests that it may have been used for special purposes or ceremonial events, rather than for everyday transactions. Additionally, the bust of Hildolf on the coin is depicted facing to the left, which is a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of the time.
