Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Otton Ier (Ratisbonne) ND (976-982) from Duchy of Bavaria (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Emperor Otto I, also known as Otto the Great, on one side, and a cross on the other. This coin was minted during Otto's reign, which lasted from 936 to 973, and it was used as a means of promoting his image and legitimacy as a ruler. The coin's design was inspired by the Carolingian dynasty, which ruled the Holy Roman Empire before Otto's time, and it reflects the influence of Christianity on the medieval society.
