Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Otto III ND (1140-1160) from Duchy of Olomouc (Moravia) made of Silver weighing 0.481 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts Otto III, the Holy Roman Emperor, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a tree, which was a common motif in medieval Moravian coinage. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex cultural landscape of medieval Europe and highlights the diversity of influences that shaped the region's art and architecture.
