Comment
Elsen estimates the date only as "end of 11th century (after 1080?)"Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Marquisat of Antwerp ND (1080-1100) from Margraviate of Antwerp (Belgian States) made of Silver weighing 1.1 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Margraviate of Antwerp was a key player in the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading confederation that spanned across Northern Europe, and the coin's design and minting techniques reflect the influence of this league. The coin's silver content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure consistency in trade and commerce, highlighting the importance of standardization in the medieval economy.
