Comment
Imitation of the royal type (see link below). Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Werner I ND (1002-1028) from Bishopric of Strasbourg (French States) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Bishop Werner I, 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 traditional copper coins that were commonly used at the time and marked an important shift towards the use of more valuable materials in coinage.
