Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of both Henry II and Henry III, which is reflected in its dual dating (ND 1002-1056). This indicates that the coin was issued during a period of political stability and continuity in the Holy Roman Empire, which was a rare occurrence during the Middle Ages.
