Interesting fact
The Denier coin of Robert II of France, also known as the "Denier de Robert," was a widely used coin during the Middle Ages. It was first introduced in 996 and remained in circulation until 1031. The coin was made of silver and weighed around 1.02 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it featured a unique design, with the king's name and title inscribed on one side, and a cross on the other. This design was meant to symbolize the king's power and authority, as well as his connection to the Church. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the Denier de Robert is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
