Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John I, who was the Count of Wertheim from 1373 to 1407. The coin features the "Pfennig auf Würzburger Schlag" design, which was a common design used on coins minted in the German States during that time period. The use of silver in the coin's minting process also adds to its historical significance, as silver was a valuable and sought-after metal during the Middle Ages.
