Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Conrad II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1027 to 1039 and then again from 1042 until his death in 1039. Conrad II was a member of the Salian dynasty and played a significant role in the political and military history of Europe during his time. The coin's minting location, the City of Piacenza, was an important center of trade and commerce during the medieval period, and the coin's silver content and weight of 1.8 grams suggest that it was a valuable and widely used denomination in its time.
