Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Pfennig - Thomas Franz ND (1723-1740) from Lordship of Reichenau (Grisons) made of Billon weighing 0.23 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Thomas Franz, who was the Lord of Reichenau from 1723 to 1740. During this time, the Grisons region, where Reichenau is located, was going through a period of significant economic growth and political change. The coin's minting was likely a response to the increasing demand for currency in the region, and it is a testament to the economic and political developments that were taking place during this time.
