Questions about this table

How are mundane trinkets different from mysterious objects?

Mundane trinkets are explicitly non-magical and generally have straightforward explanations - a whittled figurine, a foreign coin, a pressed flower. Mysterious objects deliberately defy easy explanation and are designed to provoke investigation, serving as plot hooks rather than flavor details.

Should I let players assign mechanical benefits to trinkets?

That is entirely your call as a game master. Some groups enjoy discovering that a seemingly mundane trinket has a hidden use, while others appreciate trinkets purely as roleplaying props. Either approach works - the table provides the descriptive foundation for whatever direction you choose.
