Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John I, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the economy of his duchy. The coin's design features a bracteate, or a thin, flat piece of metal, which was a common feature of medieval coins. The use of silver in the coin's minting also signifies the value and wealth of the duchy during this time period.
