Comment
Variant with bust facing right: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 1084. During his reign, Henry IV faced many challenges, including conflicts with the Church and the nobility, and was forced to abdicate in 1084. Despite these challenges, he was able to maintain the stability of the Holy Roman Empire and implement important reforms, such as the establishment of a centralized administrative system and the promotion of trade and commerce. The coin itself is a testament to the economic and cultural achievements of the Holy Roman Empire during this period.
