oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 12/10/2022 3:00 pm Given that the weight of my coin is about 1/2 that of a denier, what does that mean? Were their 1/2 denier coins or is this just a seriously underweight/ clipped/ worn example? Report this Post to the Staff
erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 12/10/2022 3:55 pm Generally there were half deniers as well, called obols. I don't know whether Henry I minted obols, or if this is underweight (it is possibly clipped a bit, but not enough to cut away half its weight I think). Report this Post to the Staff
