Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier ND (1072-1122) from Bishopric of Basel made of Silver weighing 0.38 g 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 minting process were overseen by the Bishop of Basel, ensuring its authenticity and value. Despite its small weight, the coin played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce in the region.
