Interesting fact
The Light Denier coin from the Duchy of Bavaria, which was minted during the reign of Henry ND (1126-1139), features an unusual design on its obverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a ruler or a coat of arms, the coin bears an image of a lion, which was a symbol of the Bavarian duchy at the time. This design choice was likely intended to emphasize the duchy's independence and power, as well as its connection to the wider Holy Roman Empire.
