Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Odo II ND (1148-1156) from Duchy of Brittany (French States) made of Billon weighing 1.12 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Celtic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a cross, symbolizing the Christian faith, while the reverse side features a Celtic-style design of intertwining circles and spirals, reflecting the cultural heritage of the Brittany region. This blending of religious and cultural elements makes the coin a fascinating piece of history and a testament to the diverse influences that shaped medieval Europe.
