Albert Michaud, "Les monnaies des princes-évêques de Bâle", 1905 #12Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Theoderich ND (1041-1055) from Bishopric of Basel made of Silver is that it features a unique design that reflects the religious and political influences of the time. The coin's obverse side bears the image of Theoderich, the Bishop of Basel, while the reverse side features a cross and the name of the mint, "Basilia." This design reflects the powerful role that the Church played in the region during the 11th century, as well as the importance of the Basel mint in producing currency for the local economy.
