Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1220 to 1250. He was known for his military conquests and his efforts to centralize power, which led to conflicts with the Church and the nobility. Despite these challenges, he was able to issue a number of coins during his reign, including the Denier Bracteate, which was a standard circulation coin made of silver and weighed 0.55 grams.
