Slg. Ulmer 248Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pfennig coin from County of Freiburg is that it features a unique design, with a crowned eagle on the obverse side and a shield with the coat of arms of Freiburg on the reverse side. This design was used during the reign of Egino II, who was the Count of Freiburg from 1271 to 1316. The use of a crowned eagle on the coin symbolized the county's connection to the Holy Roman Empire, while the shield with the coat of arms represented the county's independence and sovereignty. The fact that the coin was made of silver also speaks to the county's economic prosperity and the value placed on this precious metal during that time period.
