Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Pfennig - Eberhard II ND (1322-1357) from Counts of Neu-Kyburg (Bern) made of Silver weighing 0.24 g is that it features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of a lion, which was the coat of arms of the Counts of Neu-Kyburg, and the reverse side featuring a cross with the letters "S" and "N" on either side, which stand for "Sankt" (Saint) and "Neu-Kyburg" respectively. This design was used to signify the coin's origins and to show the Counts' allegiance to the Holy Roman Empire.
