Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Pfennig - Johann I von Chalon ND (1327-1335) from Bishopric of Basel made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a stylized image of a lion on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the Bishopric of Basel. This design was used on many coins issued by the Bishopric during this time period, and it has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
