Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of five different names on its obverse side, which is unusual for a coin from the German States. The names are: Louis, Henry, Albert George, Christoph, and Wolf Ernest. This suggests that the coin may have been issued to commemorate a significant event or to honor a particular individual or group of individuals. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
