The attribution to Minden is uncertain.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. This coin is a rare example of a silver denier that was produced during his reign, and it features a bust of Henry III facing forward, which was a unique design for coins during that time period.
