Weight variable 0.56-0.81 g.Interesting fact
The Denier - Leopold V (Krems) ND (1177-1194) coin from the Duchy of Austria (Austrian States) was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in coinage during that time. This indicates that the ruling dynasty, the Babenbergs, had access to a steady supply of silver, which was a valuable resource at the time. The use of silver in coinage was not only a symbol of wealth and power but also helped to establish the coin's authenticity and value.
