Comment
Grote# 3Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the German States. The coin's minting period, 1310-1330, saw the rise of city-states and trade, as well as the decline of feudalism and the rise of centralized monarchies. This coin, made of silver and weighing 1.19g, would have been a significant unit of exchange during this time, and its design and minting would have been closely regulated by the ruling authorities.
