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. The coin features an image of Conrad II on one side and the coat of arms of the City of Piacenza on the other. This coin is a rare example of a standard circulation coin from the Italian States during this time period, and its small weight of 0.3 grams makes it a unique and interesting collector's item.
