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 1039 to 1056. Despite being an emperor, Henry III faced significant challenges during his reign, including conflicts with the Church and the nobility, as well as struggles to maintain the empire's territorial integrity. Despite these challenges, he was able to maintain his power and influence, and his coinage remains an important part of numismatic history.
