Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Pfennig - Anonymous ND (1254-1270) from Bishopric of Basel made of Silver weighing 0.33 g is that it was used as a form of currency during a time when the Bishopric of Basel was an important religious and political center in Europe. The coin's design and materials reflect the influence of the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church, and its use would have been widespread in trade and commerce throughout the region. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a significant artifact of medieval European history and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Bishopric of Basel.
