Chestret 132Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Penny / Denier - Albert of Rethel ND (1191-1194) from Prince-bishopric of Liege (Belgian States) made of Silver weighing 0.8 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Albert of Rethel, who was the Prince-Bishop of Liege from 1191 to 1194. This was a period of significant conflict between the church and secular rulers, and the coin may have been used as a symbol of the Prince-Bishopric's power and influence. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, suggests that it was intended to be a high-quality and long-lasting currency.
