Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier ND (1160-1180) from the Holy Roman Empire made of Silver weighing 0.44g is that it was used as a means of exchange and commerce during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Holy Roman Empire was a powerful and influential political entity that spanned across modern-day Germany, Austria, and parts of Italy, and this coin was used as a standard unit of currency throughout the empire. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Denier was an important symbol of the empire's economic power and influence.
