Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Florenz of Wevelinghofen ND (1364-1379) from Bishopric of Münster (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.11 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 Bishop Florenz of Wevelinghofen, who was a powerful and influential leader in the region. The coin's design features the bishop's name and title on one side, and a depiction of the saint on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the more common copper coins of the time, and it reflects the growing wealth and prosperity of the region.
