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 Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. Ottokar II was a powerful king who sought to expand his territories and influence, leading to conflicts with neighboring kingdoms and the Empire itself. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a standard circulation coin throughout his reign, indicating the stability and consistency of the Austrian States' monetary system during this period.
