Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Ithier ND (963-981) from Archbishopric of Arles (French States) made of Billon weighing 0.91 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Louis IV (also known as Louis the Child), who was the last Carolingian king of West Francia. This was a period of significant turmoil, with Viking raids, internal power struggles, and the breakdown of the Carolingian Empire. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate designs and detailing that showcase the skill of the medieval minting process.
