Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Otbert (Church) ND (1091-1119) coin from the Prince-bishopric of Liege is that it features an image of a church on one side, which symbolizes the powerful influence of the Catholic Church during that time period in the region that is now Belgium.
