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, also known as Henry the Proud, who was the Duke of Bavaria from 1126 to 1139. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, and it features an image of Henry X on one side and a cross on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighs 0.94 grams, making it a relatively small and lightweight coin. Despite its small size, the coin is still considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
