Interesting fact

The Denier coin of Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, was minted during his reign from 1215 to 1250. It was made of silver and weighed 1.38 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Frederick II on horseback, which was a rare design element for coins during that time period. Additionally, the coin's minting was overseen by the Holy Roman Empire's central mint in Mainz, Germany, which was known for its high-quality coinage.
