Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Charles IV, who was also the Margrave of Brandenburg from 1323 to 1373. Charles IV was a powerful ruler who played a significant role in shaping the Holy Roman Empire and was known for his extensive building projects, including the construction of the famous Charles Bridge in Prague. The coin's design and minting process were likely overseen by the Emperor himself, making it a unique piece of history from that time period.
