Comment
Minted from silver found at the mine of Birnbaum.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features four different rulers on its obverse side: Wolfgang, John IV, George III, and Joachim I. This is a unique feature, as most coins typically feature only one ruler or a single image. The fact that this coin has four different rulers suggests that it may have been a special issue or commemorative coin, possibly issued to mark an important event or anniversary during the reigns of these rulers.
