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. During his reign, Henry IV faced many challenges, including conflicts with the Church and the nobility, and was forced to flee his capital city of Rome on several occasions. Despite these challenges, he was able to maintain his power and influence, and his coinage, such as this denier, remains a testament to his legacy.
