Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Thierry (buste) ND (1047-1088) from Bishopric of Verdun (French States) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Bishop Thierry of Verdun, who was known for his efforts to promote the use of silver coins in the region. This coin, made of silver, was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze coins that were commonly used at the time, and it marked a shift towards the use of more valuable materials in coinage. This change in material was likely motivated by the desire to increase the value and prestige of the coinage, and it may have had an impact on the local economy and trade.
