Interesting 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 German States. The coin was minted in 1763, just a few years before the start of the American Revolution, and during a period of great political and social unrest in Europe. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time, with its intricate design and use of precious metals like silver.
