Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the region. The County of East Frisia was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and during the reign of Edzard II and John (1568-1586), the county was facing religious and political tensions, including the Protestant Reformation and conflicts with neighboring territories. Despite these challenges, the county continued to mint coins, such as the 1 Witten, which were used for everyday transactions and trade. This coin is a small but tangible reminder of the complex history and cultural heritage of the region during that time.
