Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Otton Ier (Augsbourg) ND (976-982) from Duchy of Bavaria (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a cross pattée, which is a type of cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends. This design was a common feature on coins during the Ottonian dynasty, which ruled Germany and Italy in the 10th and 11th centuries. The use of the cross pattée on this coin reflects the influence of Christianity during that time period.
