Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Sergius III and emperor Louis III ND (904-905) from Papal States made of Silver weighing 1.68 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe. The Papal States, which were a series of territories in Italy under the direct rule of the Pope, were facing challenges from both within and outside their borders. The coin's minting during this time period is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Papal States and their ability to maintain economic stability despite the turmoil surrounding them.
