Comment
Imitation of Henri IV's Goslar deniers (see link below). Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Theoderic III, who was the Count of Katlenburg from 1085 to 1106. The coin features an image of Theoderic III 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 minting was also significant, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was often used in the production of coins during the Middle Ages.
