Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier ND (1002-1026) from Bishopric of Chur (Grisons) made of Silver weighing 0.76 g is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political significance in the region. The Bishopric of Chur was a powerful ecclesiastical state that covered much of what is now eastern Switzerland and parts of Austria, and the coin was likely used in transactions and trade throughout this area. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, the coin is a tangible reminder of the complex and fascinating history of the region during the Middle Ages.
