Comment
Albert Michaud, "Les monnaies des princes-évêques de Bâle", 1905 #35Interesting 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 center in Europe during that time. The coin's design and silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency, and it was likely used for a wide range of transactions, from buying goods and services to paying taxes and debts. Despite its age, some of these coins have survived to this day and are highly sought after by collectors and historians, providing a unique glimpse into the economic and social practices of medieval Europe.
