Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Theodoric I, who was the Duke of Upper Lotharingia from 984 to 1026. The coin features an image of Theodoric on one side and a cross on the other, which was a common design for coins during the Carolingian period. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also significant, as it reflected the value and wealth of the Duchy of Upper Lotharingia during that time.
