Commentary


Les augustales sont parmi les monnaies les plus connues du Moyen-Âge. Frappées après 1231, elles montrent la volonté de Frédéric II de s’inscrire dans la lignée des empereurs romains. Les augustales s’inspirent des monnaies antiques, et présentent le buste de l’empereur et l’aigle impérial. Ces monnaies sont très recherchées.
