Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the first known use of a double portrait on a coin, with both Conrad II and Henry III depicted on the same side. This unique design was a departure from the traditional single-portrait design commonly used on coins at the time and has made this coin a notable piece in numismatic history.
