Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Vierzipfeliger Pfennig" coin is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick I, also known as Frederick Barbarossa, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1155 to 1190. This coin was minted at the Abbey of Weingarten, which was a significant minting location during the Middle Ages. The coin's design features a unique four-pellet symbol on one side, which gave it its name "Vierzipfeliger Pfennig" (four-pellet penny). This symbol was used to represent the four evangelists and was a common motif in medieval coinage.
