Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Theoderic II, who was the King of the Franks from 1033 to 1046. The coin features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other, which was a common design element for coins during this time period. The use of silver in the coin's composition also signifies its value and importance as a form of currency during the medieval era.
