Comment
Buchenau "Fund Hersbruck": #24Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1220 to 1250. He was known for his military conquests and his support of the arts and sciences, and his reign marked the beginning of the Renaissance in Europe.
