Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign 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 efforts to centralize power within the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design and minting process were likely overseen by Frederick II or his successors, making it a unique piece of history from that time period.
