Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Conrad II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1024 to 1039. Conrad II was known for his efforts to consolidate power and bring stability to the Holy Roman Empire, which had been weakened by internal conflicts and external threats. The coin's design, featuring a cross on one side and the emperor's name on the other, reflects the strong influence of Christianity during this time period. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver suggests that it was a valuable and widely used currency during its time.
