Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier coin from the Bishopric of Halberstadt is that it features a unique design, with a crowned bust of Reinhard of Blankenburg on one side and a cross on the other. This design was used during Reinhard's reign as Bishop of Halberstadt from 1106 to 1123. The coin's silver content and small weight of 0.8 grams also make it a notable example of medieval coinage.
