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. Ottokar II was a powerful king who ruled over a vast territory that included Bohemia, Austria, and parts of modern-day Germany and Italy. However, his reign was marked by conflicts with the Holy Roman Empire and the Catholic Church, which ultimately led to his downfall. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of medieval coin makers.
