Interesting fact

Despite this, the coin still bears the image of the ruling Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick III, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Barony of Baar on the other. This coin is a testament to the complex political and economic landscape of 15th century Europe, and its survival is a rare and valuable reminder of this fascinating period in history.
