Comment
Müller-Jahnke/Volz 427Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted in 1757-1758, a period when the Empire was facing challenges from the rise of modern nation-states and the decline of feudalism. The coin's minting was a sign of the ongoing efforts of the County of Sayn-Altenkirchen, a small state within the Empire, to maintain its independence and economic stability during this tumultuous time.
