Comment
Buchonia/Hinkelbein# 23, 24Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1724 Constantine of Buttlar ½ Kopfstück coin from the Abbey of Fulda (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political significance. The coin features an image of Constantine the Great, who was the first Christian Roman Emperor and is considered a saint by the Catholic Church. The coin's minting was likely a way for the Abbey of Fulda to promote and celebrate the Catholic faith, as well as to commemorate the legacy of Constantine. Additionally, the coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
