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 central authority, which had weakened in the previous century. The coin's design, featuring a scepter on the reverse side, may reflect the importance of the imperial power and authority during this time period.
