Comment
Baron 15Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Otto I (Strasbourg) (936-962) coin is that it features a unique design element - a cross symbol on the reverse side, which was a departure from the traditional Carolingian Empire design of a central figure surrounded by a circle of dots. This cross design was a nod to the Christian faith of the time and signified the importance of religion in the kingdom.
