Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Frederick II, who was a powerful and influential Holy Roman Emperor in the 13th century. He was known for his military conquests and his efforts to centralize power, which had a significant impact on the political and economic landscape of Europe during his time. The coin's design, which features an "F" mintmark, is a nod to Frederick II's legacy and the fact that he was known as "Frederick the Great."
