Interesting fact
The Hugh I Denier coin from the Bishopric of Langres (French States) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized depiction of a bishop's mitre on the obverse (front) side, and a cross fleury on the reverse (back) side. This design was used during Hugh I's reign from 1031 to 1049 and was meant to symbolize the bishop's authority and religious influence in the region.
