Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of two rulers, Otto IV and Otto V, on the same coin. This is a unique feature, as most coins of that time period featured only one ruler. It's a reflection of the political situation in the Margraviate of Brandenburg during that time, where two rulers were reigning simultaneously.
