Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - William I ND (927-943) from Duchy of Normandy (French States) made of Silver weighing 1.20 g is that it was minted during the reign of William I, also known as William the Conqueror, who was the first Norman king of England. This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during his rule, and it features an image of William I 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 medieval Europe.
