Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the German States. The County Palatine of Tübingen, where the coin was minted, was a small territory that was part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a loose confederation of German states that existed from the 10th to the 19th century. During this time, the Empire was facing challenges from external powers and internal conflicts, which led to a period of political instability and economic upheaval. Despite these challenges, the County Palatine of Tübingen was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the Denier - Frederick and Hugo I ND (1152-1162), which is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people who lived in this region.
