Interesting fact
The Denier coin from Frisia (Dutch States) was minted during the reign of Wickman III, who was a powerful Viking king that ruled over a large part of the Netherlands and Germany during the 10th century. The coin features an image of a crowned lion on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the king's power and the influence of Christianity in the region. Despite its small size, the coin was an important part of the local economy and was widely used for trade and commerce.
