Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Otto II and Spitignew ND (1125) from Duchy of Brno (Moravia) made of Silver is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on one coin. The obverse side of the coin depicts Otto II, the Duke of Brno, while the reverse side features Spitignew, the margrave of Moravia. This double-sided design was a common feature of medieval coins, but it's still fascinating to see two powerful figures of the time sharing a single coin.
