Castelin.23Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Holy Roman Empire. The Denier anonymous (Eger) coin was introduced during the reign of Emperor Frederick II, who was known for his efforts to centralize power and reform the empire's currency. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight made it a popular choice for everyday transactions, and it remained in circulation for several centuries. Despite its humble origins, this coin is now highly sought after by collectors and historians due to its rarity and historical significance.
