Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted 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 his own coins, which is a testament to the power and influence of the duchy at that time.
