Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in the German States, specifically during the transition from the Holy Roman Empire to the Hohenstaufen dynasty. This period saw significant political and economic upheaval, and the coinage of the time reflects this turmoil. The Denier coin, in particular, was an important denomination during this era and was widely used for trade and commerce. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin has a rich history and is a valuable piece for collectors today.
