Comment
Beierlein, Witt I# 6Interesting 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 1.04 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 innovation at the time, as it was a more durable and valuable material than the copper coins that were previously used. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the economic and political history of medieval Europe.
