Interesting fact
The Denier coin from the City of Stettin (German States) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who ruled from 1346 to 1378. During his reign, Charles IV introduced a number of economic reforms, including the creation of a new currency system that replaced the traditional denier with a new coin called the groschen. This coin was made of silver and was worth 12 deniers, which is why it was also known as the "12-denier groschen." The Denier coin from Stettin, which was minted during this time period, is a rare example of a coin that was issued during this time of transition and features the old denier designation.
