The Light Denier coin from the Duchy of Bavaria, issued during the reign of Louis I (1183-1231), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. Despite its small weight of 1.04 grams, it was still considered a standard circulation coin and was widely used in trade and commerce.
