[QUOTE="Sulla80, post: 3538775, member: 99456"]I am trying to link this coin to the right time and ruler - I've found very similar coins in multiple auctions and databases attributed to two different emperors : with many examples referencing Bonhoff 2023 or 2026 of Frederick II 1215-1250 and Conrad the Younger or Conradin 1254-1268. I think that either way this is a Silver Pfennig from the 13th century Nürnberg - with both rulers having held the title of "King of Sicily". Why were pfennigs being issued by Sicilian Kings?
