Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin featuring Ottokar II of Bohemia is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Ottokar II, who was the King of Bohemia and Duke of Styria, but also claimed the title of King of the Romans, which was disputed by the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolf I. This led to a series of conflicts between the two powers, including the Battle of Marchfeld in 1278, which took place near the city of Vienna. Despite these challenges, the coin remained in circulation and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
