Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Otto II, who was the Count of Guelders from 1229 to 1271. During his rule, he sought to expand the power and influence of the Duchy of Guelders, and the minting of this coin was likely a part of that effort. The coin's design and the materials used in its production, such as silver, would have been carefully chosen to reflect the wealth and prestige of the Duchy.
