Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Frederick I, also known as Frederick Barbarossa, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1155 to 1190. Frederick I was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to consolidate power and centralize the government of the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's minting during his reign suggests that it may have been used to finance his military campaigns or other imperial projects.
