Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier ND (1301-1400) from Bishopric of Geneva made of Silver weighing 0.85 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The 14th century saw the rise of city-states and trade, and the need for a standardized form of currency led to the development of coins like this one. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the value placed on this precious metal during that time period.
