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 1046. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it was made of silver, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time. This suggests that the coin was intended for high-value transactions or as a symbol of wealth and power. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in Duisburg, which is now a city in modern-day Germany, highlights the extensive reach and influence of the Holy Roman Empire during that time period.
