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. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it was made of silver, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time. Additionally, the coin features a unique design, with one bust of Henry III on the obverse (front) side, which sets it apart from other coins minted during his reign.
