Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Christian and classical imagery. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bust of Henry V, while the reverse side features an image of St. Mark, the patron saint of Venice, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This blending of religious and classical themes reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the Carolingian Empire during this time period.
