Interesting fact

The Pfennig coin from the City of Fribourg, made of Billon and weighing 0.15g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the Renaissance period in Europe, specifically in the 15th century. It was a time of great cultural, artistic, and economic growth, and the use of coins like the Pfennig reflects the increasing complexity of trade and commerce during this period.
