Interesting fact
The Witten coin was minted during the reign of the Hanseatic League, a powerful mercantile and cultural organization that dominated trade in the Baltic Sea region during the Middle Ages. The League was formed by a group of cities in Northern Germany and its influence extended to other cities in Europe, including Wismar, where your coin was minted. The coin's design and the materials used to make it reflect the League's influence and the economic power of the city of Wismar during that time.
