Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Light Denier coin from Duchy of Bavaria is that it was minted during the reign of Henry X, who was also known as Henry the Proud. He was the Duke of Bavaria from 1126 to 1138 and was a member of the Welf dynasty. This coin was minted as a means of promoting trade and commerce within the region, and it features an image of Henry X on one side and a cross on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a symbol of the region's wealth and prosperity.
