Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Rudolf III (993-1032) from Kingdom of Arles (Carolingian States) made of Silver weighing 1.25 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The Carolingian States were a collection of territories that emerged from the breakup of the Carolingian Empire, which had been established by Charlemagne in the 8th century. Rudolf III, who ruled the Kingdom of Arles from 993 to 1032, was one of the last Carolingian kings and his reign saw the rise of feudalism and the decline of centralized power. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the time remained a vital part of trade and commerce, with coins like the Denier being used for everyday transactions.
