Comment
Fourth period, seventh group (divided by Erlanger).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was known for his military conquests and his promotion of art, architecture, and culture. The coin's design and minting process would have been overseen by the Imperial Mint, which was established during Frederick's reign and was responsible for producing coins for the Holy Roman Empire. Despite its small size, this coin would have played an important role in the economy of the Empire and would have been used in everyday transactions.
