Comment
Imitation of a Solidus of emperor Theophilus (see link below).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Henry II (Mainz mint; two busts) ND (1002-1024) from Holy Roman Empire made of Silver is that it features a unique double portrait of King Henry II and his wife, Cunigunde, on opposite sides of the coin. This distinctive design was used to symbolize their unity and partnership in governing the Holy Roman Empire.
