Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Light Denier coin of Conrad II of Sternberg is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Conrad II, who was the Bishop of Worms from 1171 to 1192. This period saw the rise of the Holy Roman Empire, which had a significant impact on the political and economic landscape of Europe. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight also reflect the economic conditions of the time, as silver was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage.
