Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate - Anonymous ND (1353-1360) from Teutonic Order (German States) made of Billon weighing 0.10 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the Black Death, a pandemic that devastated Europe in the 14th century. The coin's small size and light weight made it an accessible form of currency for everyday transactions, and it was widely used by merchants and traders during this time. Despite its small value, the coin played a significant role in the economy of the time and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
