Comment
According to M. Matzke in "Dirhem und Rappenpfennig 2" (Bonn 2004, Nr. 181), this coin was minted by Gottfried I von Habsburg-Laufenburg (1249-1271) around 1250-1270.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Vierzipfliger" Pfennig coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued by the Counts of Habsburg-Laufenburg, a powerful noble family in the region of Aargau, Switzerland, during the 14th century. This was a period of significant trade and commerce growth, and the coin was likely used extensively in everyday transactions. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a fascinating piece of history that offers a glimpse into the economic and social dynamics of medieval Europe.
