Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Thiébald ND (1078-1082) from Bishopric of Strasbourg (French States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political significance in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Pope Gregory VII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and assert its authority over secular rulers. Additionally, the coin was minted during the Investiture Controversy, a period of conflict between the Church and the Holy Roman Empire over the right to appoint bishops and control Church lands. The coin's issuance during this time period highlights the complex and often contentious relationship between the Church and secular powers in medieval Europe.
