Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Theoderich ND (1041-1055) from Bishopric of Basel made of Silver weighing 0.6 g is that it features an image of Theoderich, the Bishop of Basel, on one side, and a cross on the other. This coin was minted during Theoderich's reign as bishop, which lasted from 1041 to 1055, and was likely used as a means of facilitating trade and commerce within the bishopric. Despite its small weight, the coin was made of silver, which gave it a significant value at the time.
