Interesting fact

The Witten coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Charles IV, who was the King of the Romans and the Holy Roman Emperor from 1346 until his death in 1378. Charles IV was known for his extensive reforms and his efforts to strengthen the Holy Roman Empire, which had a significant impact on the political and economic landscape of Europe during that time. The fact that this coin was minted during his reign speaks to the coin's historical significance and the importance of the City of Gnoien as a center of trade and commerce during the 14th century.
