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. During his reign, Henry III made significant reforms to the currency system, including the introduction of a new silver coin called the denier, which was used throughout the Holy Roman Empire. This coin, the Denier - Henry III (Halberstadt) ND (1046-1056), is an example of one of these reforms and is a valuable piece of history for numismatists and collectors.
