Comment
Albert Michaud, "Les monnaies des princes-évêques de Bâle", 1905 #32Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier ND (1107-1191) from Bishopric of Basel made of Silver is that it was used as a form of currency during the Middle Ages in the Bishopric of Basel, which was a significant religious and political entity in the region. The coin's design features the image of a bishop, representing the authority of the church, and its silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency. Despite being minted over 800 years ago, some of these coins have survived to this day and are highly sought after by collectors and historians.
