Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Ruthard ND (1088-1109) from Archbishopric of Mainz (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.86 g is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political significance in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Ruthard, who was the Archbishop of Mainz from 1088 to 1109. This was a period of great turmoil in the Holy Roman Empire, with the Investiture Controversy, a conflict between the Emperor and the Pope over the appointment of bishops and the control of the Church, taking place during Ruthard's tenure. Despite this, the coin remains a testament to the enduring power and influence of the Archbishopric of Mainz, which played a significant role in shaping the political and religious landscape of medieval Europe.
