Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry II Jasomirgott, who was the Duke of Austria from 1156 to 1177. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Austrian economy, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin's design features the Duke's name and title on one side, and a cross on the other, which was a common design element for coins during this time period.
