Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Otbert (Fosses) ND (1091-1119) from Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. While most coins from this time period and region feature a simple cross or other religious symbol, the Otbert Denier features a depiction of a bishop's mitre, which was the symbol of the Prince-Bishopric of Liege. This design choice reflects the powerful influence of the church in the region during this time period.
