Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Pfennig - Johann III von Vienne ND (1366-1382) from Bishopric of Basel made of Silver weighing 0.23 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Johann III von Vienne, who was the Bishop of Basel from 1366 to 1382. During this period, the Bishopric of Basel was an important center of power and influence in the region, and the coin was likely used for trade and commerce within the bishopric and beyond. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a significant artifact of the time period and provides a fascinating glimpse into the economic and political history of medieval Europe.
