Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick I, also known as Frederick Barbarossa, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1155 to 1190. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to consolidate power and rebuild the Holy Roman Empire, which had been weakened in the years prior to his rule. The coin's design and minting can be seen as a reflection of the political and economic climate of the time, with the use of silver and the image of the emperor on the coin serving as symbols of the empire's power and influence.
