Comment
Lange# 7Interesting fact
The 1 Witten coin from the City of Kiel (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.46g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, specifically during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV (1346-1378). This coin was likely used in trade and commerce during this period, and its silver content would have been a valuable resource for the city's economy. Additionally, the coin's design may have featured an image of the city's patron saint, St. Nicholas, who was revered for his generosity and kindness, reflecting the values of the city and its people during that time.
