Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two different designs on its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse features a bust of Emperor Conrad II, while the reverse features a pilgrim, which is a rare design element for coins from this time period. This combination of designs may have been used to symbolize the connection between the holy Roman Empire and the Catholic Church.
