Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate ND (1220) from City of Biberach (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.40 g is that it features a unique blend of medieval and Renaissance elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned and mantled bust of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, while the reverse side features a stylized eagle with outstretched wings and a shield bearing the coat of arms of the City of Biberach. This combination of imperial and local symbols reflects the complex political landscape of the German States during the 13th century.
