Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier ND (1169-1189) from Abbey of Selz (French States) made of Silver weighing 0.95 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Louis VII, who ruled France from 1137 to 1180. During his reign, there was a significant increase in trade and commerce, which led to the need for a more standardized currency. The Denier coin was one of the first coins to be widely used across different regions of France, and it played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce during this period.
