Interesting fact
The coin is quite rare and valuable, with only a few known examples existing in collections today. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Investiture Controversy, which was a conflict between the Holy Roman Emperor and the Pope over the appointment of bishops and the control of the Church. Despite the turmoil, the coin still features the image of Saint Eucharius and Saint Matthias on one side, indicating the importance of religion during this time period.
