Enrico IV-V, King of Italy 1056-1125

Gamberini 8, PCGS-graded MS-62

Obverse depicts cross in center with bust of San Marco on the reverse. Well centered and unusually sharp in detail.

This coin is attributed to either Emperor Henry IV or Henry V, the last two rulers of the Salian dynasty. Henry IV ruled as Emperor, 1084-1105, and Henry V ruled as Emperor, 1111-1125. Both of these rulers were involved in the great investiture controversary, which pitted Pope against Emperor.
