Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Dreier coin from the County of Regenstein is that it features three different rulers: Ernest I, Bodo II, and Kaspar Ulrich. This is unusual because most coins from this time period featured only one ruler. The fact that three rulers are depicted on this coin suggests that it was a special issue or commemorative coin, possibly minted to mark a significant event or anniversary during their reigns.
