Comment
Unknown mosan mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry I, also known as Henry the Fowler, who was the King of the Germans and the Holy Roman Emperor from 919 to 936. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to unify the German tribes and expand the Carolingian Empire. The coin's design and minting process would have been overseen by the royal mint, and it would have been used as a means of exchange and commerce throughout the empire.
