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. This was a time of great turmoil in Europe, marked by conflicts between the Holy Roman Empire and the Papacy, as well as the rise of feudalism and the Crusades. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the Holy Roman Empire remained a symbol of stability and continuity, with the Denier being a widely used denomination for everyday transactions.
