Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Richard I ND (943-996) from Duchy of Normandy (French States) made of Billon weighing 1.16 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes Christianity, while the reverse side features a depiction of a bird, which was a common motif in pre-Christian Celtic and Germanic cultures. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Duchy of Normandy during the 10th century.
