Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Light Denier coin of Conrad I of Steinach is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Bishopric of Worms. The coin was issued during the Investiture Controversy, a period of conflict between the Church and the Holy Roman Empire over the appointment of bishops and the authority of the Pope. Despite this turmoil, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the skill of the medieval mint masters.
