Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three different rulers: Philip Ernest, Wolfgang III, and John George II. This is unusual because coins typically feature only one ruler or a single ruling family. The fact that this coin features three rulers suggests that it may have been issued during a time of political unity or cooperation between the different regions or states represented by the rulers. Additionally, the fact that the coin is made of silver and weighs 13.60g suggests that it may have been a valuable and widely used coin in its time.
