Comment
Slg. Eglmeier 1380Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry VI, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1190 to 1197. This coin is a rare example of a silver denier bracteate, which was a type of coin that was commonly used in the Holy Roman Empire during the Middle Ages. The coin features an image of Henry VI on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the imperial power and the influence of Christianity during that time.
