Förschner 4Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Frederick I Barbarossa, also known as Frederick the Red Beard, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1155 to 1190. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to expand the Holy Roman Empire, which at the time was a powerful and influential political entity in Europe. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of silver also reflect the importance and wealth of the Holy Roman Empire during this time period.
