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 the right to appoint bishops and control the Church. Despite this, the coin still bears no visible signs of its tumultuous origins, featuring a simple yet elegant design that has withstood the test of time.
