Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the region. The County of East Frisia was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and during the 16th century, the Protestant Reformation was sweeping across Germany, leading to religious conflicts and political instability. Despite these challenges, the minting of coins continued, with the ½ Witten coin being one example of a coin that was produced during this time.
