Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Richer ND (1089-1107) from Bishopric of Verdun (French States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Bishop Richer de Verdun, who was a powerful figure in the region and played a significant role in the minting of coins during his tenure. The use of silver in the coin's production was a deliberate choice, as it was a valuable and highly sought-after metal at the time, and its use in coinage was seen as a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Despite being minted over 900 years ago, this coin remains a fascinating piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship and economic systems of the time.
