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 and political upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Ottokar II, who was a powerful king and leader of the Přemyslid dynasty, but his rule was marked by conflicts with the Holy Roman Empire and the Catholic Church. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the enduring legacy of Ottokar II's reign.
