Interesting fact
The Denier - Saracho ND (1056-1071) coin from the Abbey of Corvey (German States) made of Silver is interesting because it was minted during a time of great religious and political significance in Europe. The coin features an image of Saint Peter, who is considered the patron saint of Corvey Abbey, and its minting coincided with the construction of the abbey's new church building. This coin serves as a tangible reminder of the close relationship between the church and the ruling powers of the time, as well as the importance of religion in everyday life during the Middle Ages.
