Interesting fact
The Denier coin of Philip I (Mâcon) ND (1060-1108) from France was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Europe. The coinage of Philip I was characterized by a shift away from the use of gold coins, which had been the standard for centuries, and towards the use of silver coins. This change was likely due to the increasing availability of silver and the growing importance of trade and commerce in the region. The Denier coin, which was made of silver and weighed 0.87 grams, was an important part of this shift and played a significant role in the economy of medieval France.
