Interesting fact
The Denier - Otte-Guillaume ND (982-1026) from County of Scodingue (French States) is a rare coin that features a unique design element. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a cross, which was a common motif in medieval coinage. However, the cross on this coin is unusual because it has been modified to include a small crescent moon at its center. This design element is believed to have been added to symbolize the coin's connection to the Islamic world, as the crescent moon is a common symbol of Islam. This makes the coin a fascinating example of cultural exchange and religious syncretism during the medieval period.
