Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Thietmar ND (1004-1048) from Saxon Eastern March (German States) made of Silver weighing 1 g is that it was minted during the reign of Thietmar, who was the Margrave of the Saxon Eastern March from 1004 to 1048. This coin was used as a means of exchange and commerce during his rule, and it features an image of Thietmar on one side and a cross on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant innovation at the time, as it was a more durable and valuable material than the copper or bronze coins that were previously used. This coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the economic and political history of the Saxon Eastern March during the early Middle Ages.
