Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Pfennig ND (1250) from Abbey of Saint Gall (St. Gallen) made of Silver weighing 0.5 g is that it was minted during a time when the Abbey of Saint Gall was an independent principality within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coinage was minted under the authority of the abbot. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted by a religious institution during the Middle Ages, and its design and craftsmanship reflect the skill and artistry of the medieval minting process.
