Interesting fact
The Witten coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles IV, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1355 to 1378. During his reign, Charles IV introduced a number of reforms, including the creation of a new currency system, which led to the minting of coins like the Witten. The Witten coin was used throughout the German States and was an important part of the economy during that time.
