Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry III, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1046 to 1056. This was a time of significant political and social change in Europe, with the rise of feudalism and the decline of the Carolingian Empire. The coin's design and minting process would have been overseen by the Imperial mint, which was responsible for producing coins for the Holy Roman Empire. Despite its small size, this coin would have played an important role in the economy of the time, as it was a widely used denomination for everyday transactions.
