Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Otto IV ND (1280-1285) from Margraviate of Brandenburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.75 g is that it features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of a crowned eagle, while the reverse side features a cross with four eagles at its corners. This design was used during the reign of Otto IV, who was the King of the Romans from 1280 to 1285 and the Holy Roman Emperor from 1285 until his death in 1305. The use of the eagle and cross motif on the coin was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the Holy Roman Empire.
