Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Light Denier coin featuring Frederick I (Annweiler) from the Holy Roman Empire is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick I, also known as Frederick Barbarossa, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1155 to 1180. During his reign, Frederick I sought to consolidate his power and expand the empire's territories, which led to conflicts with the Church and other neighboring kingdoms. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely used denomination during this period, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce within the empire.
