Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the regency of Philip the Handsome, who was the son of King Maximilian I and Mary of Burgundy. Philip was known for his diplomatic and political skills, and he played a significant role in the politics of the Holy Roman Empire during his lifetime. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, the coin still holds historical significance and is a valuable addition to any collection of ancient coins.
