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 expand the Holy Roman Empire, which at the time was a powerful and influential political entity in Europe. The coin's design and minting process would have been overseen by the Imperial mint, which was responsible for producing coins for the Empire. The fact that it was made of silver and weighs 0.81g suggests that it was a relatively valuable coin at the time, and its circulation would have been limited to certain regions and populations.
