#33 in Friedrich Wielandt, Robert Greter-Stückelberger - "Die Münzen von Laufenburg und Rheinau", 1978Interesting 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, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was issued by the Counts of Habsburg-Laufenburg, a powerful noble family that played a significant role in the region's politics and trade. The coin's design, which features a unique combination of four shields and a central cross, reflects the complex political landscape of the time, with different shields representing different territories and dynasties. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the "Vierzipfliger" Pfennig coin is a fascinating piece of history that offers a glimpse into the economic, political, and cultural developments of medieval Europe.
