Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry II, who was the first king of the Holy Roman Empire to be crowned in Rome since the time of Charlemagne. This coin was minted in Regensburg, which was an important city in the Duchy of Bavaria, and it features an image of Henry II on one side and a cross on the other. The fact that it was made of silver and weighs 1.63 grams suggests that it was a significant coin in its time and was likely used for large transactions.
