Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Matthew I ND (1139-1176) from Duchy of Lorraine (French States) made of Silver weighing 0.9 g is that it was minted during the reign of Matthew I, who was the Duke of Lorraine from 1139 to 1176. This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during his rule, and it features an image of the Duke on one side and a cross on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant choice, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely accepted as a medium of exchange at the time.
