Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Imperial Denaro coin from the City of Cremona is that it features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Sicily during his reign from 1254 to 1300. Despite being issued in the 13th century, this coin is still considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
