Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Mites - Albert of Bavaria ND (1389-1404) from County of Hainaut (French States) made of Billon weighing 1.5 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Albert of Bavaria, who was the Count of Hainaut from 1389 to 1404. This was a period of significant upheaval, as the Hundred Years' War between England and France was ongoing, and the Black Death had recently ravaged much of Europe. Despite these challenges, the minting of this coin suggests that there was still a strong demand for currency and a need for efficient trade and commerce.
