Comment

Reproducting the Pfennig coins of Cologne.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the German States. The Denier was a widely used coin throughout medieval Europe, and this specific coin was minted in the city of Fritzlar, which was an important trading center during the time. The fact that it was made of silver also speaks to the value and rarity of the coin, as silver was a highly valued metal at the time.
