Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Louis of Hessen ND (1310-1357) from Bishopric of Münster (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.96 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Louis of Hessen, who was the Bishop of Münster from 1310 until his death in 1357. During this time, the Bishopric of Münster was an important political and economic power in the region, and the coin was likely used for trade and commerce throughout the German States. The fact that it was made of silver also speaks to the value and wealth of the region at the time.
