Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Berthold of Pietengau and Otto of Lonsdorf, who were both influential figures in the Bishopric of Passau. This period saw significant political and religious conflicts, including the rise of the Habsburg dynasty and the struggle between the Empire and the Papacy. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring power of the Bishopric of Passau and the importance of trade and commerce during this time.
