Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Matthew ND (1198-1207) from Bishopric of Toul (French States) made of Silver weighing 0.58 g is that it was minted during the reign of Bishop Matthew, who was known for his efforts to promote the use of silver coins in the region. This coin, which features the image of a bishop on one side and a cross on the other, was likely used for everyday transactions and represents an important part of the economic history of the region during that time period.
