Interesting fact
The Albert I Denier coin from the Bishopric of Regensburg (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. Albert I was the King of the Romans from 1236 to 1273, and his reign saw the rise of the Habsburg dynasty, which would go on to shape European history for centuries to come. This coin, made of silver and weighing 0.93 grams, was likely used in everyday transactions during this time and provides a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of the era.
