Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in the Duchy of Bavaria-Landshut. The coin was issued by three rulers, Stephan III, Frederick, and John II, who were all members of the Wittelsbach dynasty and ruled the duchy simultaneously. This unique situation was the result of a division of the duchy among the three rulers, who were brothers, and it reflects the complex political landscape of the time. Despite the challenges of ruling a divided territory, the Wittelsbach dynasty managed to maintain power and influence in the region for centuries, and this coin serves as a testament to their enduring legacy.
