Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Louis I ND (1183-1231) from Duchy of Bavaria (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.92 g is that it was minted during the reign of Louis I, also known as Louis the Kelheimer, who was the Duke of Bavaria from 1183 to 1231. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which were used to promote trade and commerce in the region. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous coins minted in the region, which were made of copper or other base metals. The introduction of silver coins helped to establish Bavaria as a major economic power in the region and paved the way for the development of a robust economy.
