Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pfennig coin is that it was minted during the reign of Peter I von Reichenstein, who was the Bishop of Basel from 1286 to 1296. This coin is a rare example of a silver Pfennig from the Bishopric of Basel, which was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design features an image of the bishop's mitre and staff on one side, and the other side bears the inscription "PETRUS EPISCOPUS BASILENSIS" (Peter, Bishop of Basel). The coin's silver content and historical significance make it a valuable and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
