Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Groat coin featuring Albert of Bavaria is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted in 1395, during the reign of Albert II, who was the Duke of Bavaria and Count of Holland. This was a time of political upheaval, as the Holy Roman Empire was facing challenges from within and outside its borders. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians alike.
