Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the crozier, which is a staff with a curved top, often carried by bishops and other high-ranking clergy. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin may indicate that Henry IV, the Holy Roman Emperor, was seeking to emphasize his connection to the Catholic Church or promote the importance of religious authority during his reign.
