Comment
This type imitates that of King Rudolf III, brother of Bishop Henry of Burgundy (see link below). Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henri de Bourgogne, who was the Bishop of Lausanne (Vaud) from 993 to 1019. This coin is a rare example of a silver denier that was produced during his episcopacy, and it is considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
