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 the King of Bohemia and Duke of Austria, and it was a time of great conflict between the royal families of Europe and the emerging cities and trade guilds. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained a stable and widely accepted form of currency throughout the region, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce during this period.
