Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three different rulers: Ernest I, Bodo II, and Kaspar Ulrich. This is unusual for a coin, as it was common for coins to feature only one ruler or a single image. The fact that this coin features three rulers suggests that it may have been a special issue or commemorative coin. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and weighs 0.82g suggests that it may have been a valuable coin at the time of its minting.
