Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in the Kingdom of Italy. Henry III and Henry IV were both emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, but they faced significant challenges to their rule from local nobles and rival factions. Despite these challenges, the coinage they issued, such as this denier, remained an important symbol of their authority and helped to maintain economic stability in the region.
