Abstract

The article offers information on several gold coins of the Middle Ages. It says that the 1231 gold augustale illustrates the grace and the power of Frederick II, king of Sicily, Italy, while the 1344 noble depicts King Edward III of England standing in a ship with a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand. Moreover, ducato di camera pictures St. Peter in the Sea of Galilee pulling a net into his boat. The article also mentions the significance of medieval coins on modern society.
