Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Henry IV, who was known for his efforts to reform the Holy Roman Empire and strengthen the power of the German monarchy. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency across the empire, as trade and commerce were becoming increasingly important during this period.
