Interesting fact
The Light Denier coin from the Bishopric of Augsburg was minted during the reign of Bishop Conrad I von Hohenstaufen, who was a powerful and influential bishop in the German States during the 12th century. The coin features an image of the bishop on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the church's authority and influence in the region. Despite its small weight, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the German States and beyond.
