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 episcopacy, which lasted from 1041 to 1055, and it was likely used for everyday transactions in the Bishopric of Basel. Despite its small weight, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This fact highlights the importance of the Bishopric of Basel as a economic and political entity during the Middle Ages.
