Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier ND (1088-1101) from Abbey of Lorsch (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.93 g is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Henry IV, who was known for his conflicts with the Catholic Church and his efforts to consolidate his power in the Holy Roman Empire. This coin, minted at the Abbey of Lorsch, was likely used in trade and commerce throughout the region and may have been used to purchase goods such as food, clothing, and other necessities. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a significant piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of the time.
