Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. John I and Otto III were both prominent figures in the Empire, with John I serving as the King of the Romans and Otto III as the Holy Roman Emperor. The coin's minting during their reigns (1250-1266) suggests that it may have played a role in the economic and political changes that were taking place during that time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 0.76g suggests that it may have been a valuable and widely used coin in its time.
