| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two facing crowned busts of equal size flanking a tall cross-shaped sceptre or long staff, representing the joint authority of Bishop Henri I and King Henri IV. The figures are depicted in a frontal, hieratic style typical of 11th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. Both busts wear crowns and are rendered in low relief within a beaded circle. The surrounding legend HEINRICVS REX identifies the royal co-issuer. The composition reflects the dual secular and ecclesiastical power symbolism common to Salian-era episcopal deniers. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This denier was struck during one of the most combustible periods in medieval German ecclesiastical politics. The years 1067–1073 place it squarely in the run-up to the Investiture Controversy, when the relationship between the imperial throne and the German episcopate was fracturing under precisely the tensions that would culminate in Henry IV's humiliation at Canossa in 1077. The Bishopric of Speyer held particular significance to the Salian dynasty — Henry IV's father, Henry III, had lavished building patronage on Speyer Cathedral and was buried there.
The dual attribution to Henri Ier and roi Henri IV in the name reflects the overlapping authority structures of the period, with episcopal coinage rights bound tightly to royal confirmation.
