Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Matthew II (Nancy) ND (1220-1251) from Duchy of Lorraine (French States) made of Silver weighing 0.5 g is that it was minted during the reign of Duke Matthew II, who was known for his efforts to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin's design features the Duke's name and title on one side, and a cross on the other, which was a common motif for coins of that time period. Despite its small size, this coin is a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians interested in the economic and political developments of medieval Europe.
