| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Hohenstaufen imperial eagle displayed with wings spread, facing left, rendered in bold relief at the centre of the field. The eagle, symbol of the Holy Roman Empire and the Staufen dynasty, is shown with detailed feathering on both wings and talons gripping the lower field. The legend FRIDERICVS runs around the periphery in Latin capitals, identifying the issuer as Frederick II. The irregular flan and style faithfully evoke the hammered character of the original 13th-century gold Augustalis struck at Messina. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The original augustalis, struck at Messina and Brindisi from around 1231, was among the first gold coins issued in Western Europe since the Carolingian period — a deliberate act of political theatre by Frederick II, who modeled his own portrait on Roman imperial coinage to reinforce his claim as heir to both the Holy Roman and Roman empires. This 1988 replica adds nothing to that history and everything to the collector's need for a handling piece.
