Comment
Struck during Henry of Schweinfurt's revolt against Emperor Henry II. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in the Margraviate of Nordgau. The coin was minted in 1003-1004, which was a period of political upheaval in the region. The Margraviate was in the process of transitioning from a Carolingian margraviate to a feudal state, and this coin may have been minted as a way to solidify the power of the ruling family. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant choice, as it was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time.
