Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Double Denier coin from the Bishopric of Metz is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. Theoderic V was the bishop of Metz during this time, and his coinage was an important symbol of his authority and influence in the region. Despite the challenges of the era, the coin remains a testament to the enduring power of the Catholic Church and the importance of its leaders during this period.
