Interesting fact
The Denier Bracteate coin was issued during the reign of Frederick I, also known as Frederick Barbarossa, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1155 to 1190. The coin features an image of Frederick I on one side and a cross on the other. It's interesting to note that this coin was issued during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, with the Holy Roman Empire facing challenges from rival powers and the Crusades taking place. Despite these challenges, the Denier Bracteate coin remained a widely used and valued form of currency throughout the empire.
