Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the temple on the reverse side. This temple is believed to represent the Temple of the Holy Spirit, which was built by Henry II in Speyer, Germany, and was completed in 1030. The inclusion of this design element on the coin may have been a way to promote the Holy Roman Empire's religious and political agenda.
