Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of both Conrad II and Henry III, which is unusual for coins of that time period. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time of political unity or cooperation between the two rulers. Additionally, the fact that it was minted at the Speyer mint, which was located in the Holy Roman Empire, suggests that the coin had a wide circulation and was used in trade and commerce across a large region.
