Comment
The king's face is supposed to be Conradin, son of Conrad IV.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier Bracteate (Ulm) ND (1254-1268) from Holy Roman Empire made of Silver weighing 0.39 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cross, which symbolizes the Christian faith, while the reverse side features a image of a bracteate, which is a type of ornament that was popular in medieval Europe. This blending of religious and cultural symbols reflects the complex and diverse nature of the Holy Roman Empire during this time period.
