Interesting fact
The Anna II of Limburg 1559 coin was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The Abbey of Herford, where the coin was minted, was a powerful and influential religious institution in the German States, and the coin's design reflects the religious and political themes of the time. The coin features an image of Saint Anna, the patron saint of the abbey, on one side, and the coat of arms of the abbey on the other. The coin's silver content and small weight make it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
