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.
