Comment

It is difficult to date and define the workshop for these pieces.
The example shown here was probably struck at the Naumburg workshop under Konrad II (1024 - 1039) or Heinrich IV (1056 - 1084).

A wide variety of legends and symbols.

The meaning of the reassembled listel and how it was produced have yet to be determined. Several theories exist, but none has been confirmed. On the example shown here, the listel on the reverse is slightly curved inwards, while that on the obverse is straight and sharp. These characteristics indicate that the coin belongs to recent minting (circa 1060). Automatically translated

Il est difficile de dater et de définir l'atelier pour ces pièces.
L'exemplaire représenté sur cette fiche a probablement été frappé à l'atelier de Naumburg sous Konrad II (1024 - 1039) ou Heinrich IV (1056 - 1084).

Très grand nombre de variétés au niveau des légendes et symboles.

Le sens du listel remonté et la manière de le produire n'a pas pu être déterminé à ce jour. Plusieurs théories existent mais aucune n'a pu être confirmée. Sur l'exemplaire de cette fiche, le listel du revers est légèrement recourbé vers l'intérieur tandis que celui de l'avers est droit et acéré, ses caractéristique indiquent que la pièce fait partie des frappes récentes (vers 1060).

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political change in Europe. The Bishopric of Naumburg was a powerful ecclesiastical state in the German region of Saxony, and the coin's minting during this period reflects the growing influence of the Catholic Church in the region. The coin's silver content and unique design also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of medieval Europe.
