Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denier - Spitignew II ND (1055-1061) coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia is that it was minted during the reign of King Spitigneus II, who was known for his efforts to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Latin, as well as an image of a crowned lion, which was a symbol of the Bohemian monarchy. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, the coin was made of silver, which gives it a significant intrinsic value and makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
