Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Henry II, who was known for his military conquests and his efforts to strengthen the French monarchy. Despite his accomplishments, Henry II's reign was cut short when he died in 1024, at the age of 37, from a severe nosebleed that he suffered during a tournament. This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a reminder of his brief but impactful time as emperor.
