Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - William I (Utrecht) ND (1054-1076) from Bishopric of Utrecht (Dutch States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that reflects the religious influences of the time. The coin bears an image of Saint Martin, the patron saint of Utrecht, on one side, and a depiction of William I, the Bishop of Utrecht, on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Catholic Church held significant power and influence in Europe, and the inclusion of religious imagery on the coin highlights the close relationship between the Church and the secular authorities in the region.
