Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry IV, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1056 to 1106. Henry IV was known for his efforts to reform the Holy Roman Empire and strengthen its power, and this coin may have been minted as part of those efforts. Additionally, the fact that it was minted at the Duisburg mint, which was an important center of trade and commerce during that time, suggests that this coin may have been widely circulated throughout the empire.
