One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Witten ND (1359-1378) from City of Flensburg (German States) made of Silver (.779) weighing 1.27 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Charles IV, who was instrumental in establishing the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading federation that dominated trade in the Baltic Sea and much of Northern Europe. The coin's silver content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure consistency and accuracy in trade, reflecting the importance of commerce during this period.
