Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Otto the Child, who was only 13 years old when he became the Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg. Despite his young age, Otto was able to issue coins in his name, which suggests that he had a significant amount of power and influence for a minor. This coin is a rare example of a coin issued by a minor ruler during the medieval period.
