Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Investiture Controversy, a conflict between the Holy Roman Emperor and the Pope over who had the authority to appoint bishops and control the Church. Despite this, the coin still features the image of a bishop on one side, signifying the continued influence of the Church during this time period.
